Civil Services Day musings-
The Civil Services - bureaucrats & technocrats both included- remain under the scanner most of the time with little noticeable improvement over the years. The Political bosses rule the roost having the final say about who will man this or that post. No surprise then that with the change in Government at the Centre or in the states, there are transfers ordered at a mass scale. After all, the political parties have their own trusted blue eyed boys who they want to reward with plum postings. Sometimes, the bosses choose not to disturb the incumbants as regional considerations get the better of everything.
I feel no need to repeat the recent HPPCL episode in which a Chief Engineer was reportedly driven to commit suicide due to the alleged high handed behaviour of those at the helm of affairs.
In the light of all this the advice to the Civil Services would be to shed some of their arrogance, insensitivity, aloofness, mocking stance and condescending attitude for fostering genial environment at the work place to get the best results.
Sure, it will be a rewarding experience !!
