Opening
The Baswan committee for civil services reform advocated for lateral entry into civil services. However, there are various criticism and controversy over lateral entry due to following factors :
Body · points and prose
. Ensures quality of public service via bringing experience into administration
- 3. Provide a holistic view in development
- Ensure diversification of civil service
However, there are various criticism and controversy over lateral entry due to following factors : (1) Lateral entry will lead to domination of civil services by specific interest groups. (2) Administration is not only about efficiency and expertise. → It is about generalised outlook towards society for governance with empathy. (3) It dilutes the spirit of achievement oriented meritocratic society. (4) Lateral entry can lead to dilution of civil services value.
Thus reforms must be brought rather than changing the entire bureaucratic structure: (1) Hota committee recommendation for 360 degree evaluation of civil servants. (2) Training should be based on building values. → Mission Karmayogi (3) Providing ethical values for inclusive and good governance.
