Letters Administrative reform
The article “Time to crank up the administrative machine” (Business Line, July 3) was thought-provoking. It not only pointed out the structural inadequacies of the present set-up but also proposed an effective alternative. The promotion in government service is largely based on one single entry-level examination. This has to give way to merit-based selection to a post. For this, the Unified Civil Service holds out hope the of reforming both the Civil Services and also the Subordinate Services. A single cadre of both the Civil Servants and also that of the Subordinate Services can then be put on the concerned Web site to do away with the elaborate, time-consuming and cumbersome practice of printing Seniority Lists, etc. This will remarkably reduce service-based litigations and speed up file movements for promotions, cadre management, and so on. The need of the hour is to create a reservoir of talent — a group of people who are talented enough to perform any kind of job assigned to them, both in the Civil Services and the Subordinate Services. Personnel of talent should be picked and chosen for future assignments based on their merit and performance. In short, performance should be the visible component in their promotions and it should be demonstrably seen. It is hoped the concerned authorities — the HR Ministry and the current Pay Commission — will take steps to implement these measures. M. K. Vijayakumaran e-mail
