Who says there are no jobs? Go to the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (CWGOC) headquarters and ask any young man or woman about their emoluments and the answer will floor you. Most of them will enjoy the pay and perks till January-end 2011!

After doling out close to a thousand jobs to its favourites, the CWGOC now wants people who can deliver and is desperately looking for dynamic officers on deputation from various sectors.

Much of the staff was recruited over the last three years and just when the staff strength was about to be doubled, the government brought in a few young, efficient IAS officers to save the situation. These officers are at their wits’ end, struggling to jolt clueless staff out of slumber to justify the Rs.1 billion expenditure on the Games’ manpower.
