Opening
Civil Services determine the growth and development paradigm of nation - ["Why Nation Fail" book by James Robinson]
In this light, just focussing on recruitment & standardized training not enough
Body · points
- Lack of adherence to modern challenges. Eg: cybersecurity.
- Fifth generation warfare as held by NSA Doval → need deft management of perceptions.
- Corruption rampant despite reforms. Eg: Pooja Singhal case Jharkhand.
- Politicization due to inverted structure at top [NK Saxena committee]
- Lack of sensitivity → leads to ivory tower syndrome.
In this light, need to adopt a life cycle approach of reforms.
- Impartial recruitment with focus on holistic personality → increase essay, ethics focus.
- Training for sensitivity along with knowledge booster → Eg: Model of Singapore.
- Round the career progression mapping → @ 13 & 20 years of service (II ARC)
- Nodal cell in Home Ministry to tackle the nexus issues (Vohra Committee)
- Making them Karmayogi via on ground & ears to ground approach

This would help to uphold Kautilya's Yogakshema for better service delivery & robust civil servants.
