About Book
An efficient and competent bureaucracy is indispensable to any modern state. This short introduction to the civil services in India identifies its importance in nation-building and governance, and puts forth its varied roles in the current polity. This book discusses the evolution and structure of the civil services; processes of recruitment and training; mechanisms of accountability; and the civil servant-political executive relationship. It captures the various contributions and drawbacks of the services, and advocates reforms in the existing set-up towards a cleaner, more efficient, and performance-based structure in keeping with India's influence as an emerging superpower.
