Does India Need More Doctors And Engineers Or File Pushing Bureaucrats?
Bureaucracy Today
|May 01 - 31, 2017
Every year the UPSC, India’s highest constitutional recruiting agency, faces the biggest challenge while selecting trainee officers for the highest Civil Services in the country. More and more technocrats, doctors and surgeons appear for the most prestigious Civil Services Examination, go through tough interviews and are finally selected for top bureaucratic jobs. No doubt, in a democracy every citizen must have the freedom for choosing his or her career but the abilities of an increasing number of enormously skilled and trained technocrats and doctors get wasted in the file pushing duties of bureaucrats. This is practically the case for all the 24 shades of the higher Civil Services the UPSC is recruiting every year.
Most of the Indian professionals who aspire to become civil servants abandon years of study of medicine and engineering as useless and approach the ubiquitous thousands of Civil Services Coaching Centres which are the real factories for making babucrats in our country. These brightest young Indian minds get coached for years in subjects like History, Geography and Sociology to prove a point in their quest for serving the community, as they claim at the personality test.
These young persons are wooed by the allure of power and status of bureaucrats who are seen around the country occupying key positions and travelling in red- beaconed cars accompanied by their cronies. The loss of the nation, community, people and families in investing in these individuals to be trained as doctors and engineers and finally losing them to generalist jobs is a colossal. As the system thrives now, nobody can blame these young bright minds or their families in getting attracted to the highest services of India.

The Evolution of Fashion Retail in India
Organised retailing in India registered remarkable growth in the last decade owing to favourable demographics, growing consumer aspirations and brand consciousness. Correspondingly, the fashion category has a profound transformation over the years in terms of types and positioning of brands, formats, products and emergence of new players. The depth and variety of fashion brands took a quantum jump in shopping malls across all the sub-categories, including apparels, footwear, bags and accessories. Fashion retailers not only expanded in metros but also moved into Tier II and III cities as organised retail spaces started mushrooming in smaller towns.

Of Legal Quagmire and an Honest Bureaucrat
On august 16, 2016, the news of former coal secretary Hc Gupta, an accused in several coal scam cases, seeking to withdraw his personal bond to secure bail due to financial difficulties shook the entire bureaucracy. a week later, on august 27, he withdrew his petition seeking to take back his bail bond and agreed to “follow the normal legal procedure and practices”. observers opine that Gupta’s case is not just an incident of an “honest officer” finding himself unable to bear the huge cost of fighting litigation but it reflects “the deep-rooted malaise” in the indian administrative system which gives no protection to upright bureaucrats who are left all alone to fend for themselves for restoring their dignity and reputation. the incident, bureaucrats say, will demoralise officers to take any decision which will be detrimental to national interest. a Bureaucracy Today report.

Kill 19th Century Bureaucracy To Keep India Alive
On Independence Day this year, Indians heard Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that his Government’s motto “is to reform, perform and transform”. On September 1, the US- headquartered think-tank, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, noted: “India’s economy has grown rapidly in recent years, but the country’s bureaucratic quality is widely perceived to be either stagnant or in decline.” I think it is time to relook at overhauling the bureaucracy if we wish to realize the vision of Modi’s idea of India. Our country needs speed, efficiency and effectiveness in its entire chain of command. This is the prerequisite for realizing the vision of the greatest statesman of India.

The man Behind the Successful Crackdown on Black Money Syndicate
Taking India a step closer towards making it a fully tax-compliant nation and unravelling the thick layers of the tax evasion circle, an Indian revenue Service officer, Dhruva Purari Singh, took upon himself the task of conducting a project based investigation under which he collected the database of money launderers, identified bogus companies and conducted a nationwide search to turn the “income Disclosure Scheme, 2016” into a grand success. While the nation was aware as to how Prime Minister Narendra Modi cracked a whip on tax defaulters, not many Indians knew about the intricacies of the undertaking by Dhruva Purari which makes it all the more pertinent to put him on the Cover Page of Bureaucracy Today.
