Your contributed article, Confession under Indian Evidence Act edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Confession under Indian Evidence Act. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Indian Evidence Act. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Indian Evidence Act - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Safiel (talk) 00:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

B.G. Deshmukh edit

Bhalchandra .G. Deshmukh, popularly known as B.G. Deshmukh was a career bureaucrat known for uprightness and integrity. He studied in Ferguson College at Pune and later joined the first batch of Indian Administrative Service (I.A.S) in 1951. After completing his initial training he joined as an Assistant Collector in the Palanpur District of the then bilingual state of Bombay.(Now part of the state of Gujarat). Thereafter during a long and eventful career he held various important and prestigious posts and assignments and left an indelible mark with his sterling performance as a pro-people administrator. As an officer known for candor and integrity he never indulged in cheap publicity gimmicks nor did he hanker after plum postings. He showed the rare quality of frankness and straightforwardness in an age when sycophancy and nepotism were becoming the hallmark of public life in India. Yet, precisely because of his qualities that prestigious posts chased him throughout his civil service career and later in his role as a public rights champion.

           B.G. Deshmukh, while in the service of the Maharashtra Government, held various important posts such as the Commissioner of Bombay Municipal Corporation (B.M.C), Secretary in several key departments, Secretary to the Maharashtra Chief Minister and later Chief Secretary to the Government of Maharashtra. After his deputation to the Centre he did his stint in various key Ministries including  the Union Home Ministry and earned applause from his political masters for his administrative acumen and brilliant performance.  These qualities earned him the trust of successive Prime Ministers of India and paved the way for his appointment as the Union Cabinet Secretary, the highest post in the Indian Civil Administration.  He served in this post from August 1986 to March 1989.   He also served as the Principal Secretary to three successive Prime Ministers of India namely Rajiv Gandhi, V.P.Singh and Chandra Shekhar. This was a rare feat in itself given the fact that all these three Prime Ministers belonged to different political parties and had contrasting personal traits and ideologies.  
            After retirement from the civil service, B.G.Deshmukh  worked closely with several civil rights organisations and also counselled a number of Public Companies.  In particular he was associated with the Bombay Natural History Society (B.N.H.S), the Maratha Chamber of Commerce & Industry, K.E.M. Hospital, National Association for Blind (N.A.B)and espoused the cause of environment and the less privileged strata of society.  B.G. Deshmukh also served as a Director on the Boards of various companies and societies such as the Tata Sons Ltd, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Tata Housing Development Company Ltd, Finolex Cables, I.D.B.I. Mutual Fund, P.N.B.Mutual Fund etc. 
            B.G.Deshmukh is also credited with a number of evocative and thought provoking books including  "A Cabinet Secretary thinks", "A Cabinet Secretary looks around" and "Poona to Prime Minister's office- A Cabinet Secretary looks back".
            B.G.Deshmukh died of brain hemorrhage at a Pune Hospital on the 7th August 2011 at the age of 82.  He will always be remembered for his modesty, integrity and  empathy for the people.
