A majority of all loss making PSUs in country are managed by IAS officers and now they have become parking slots for bureaucrats waiting to find a berth in various ministries.It is time to question the very relevance of All India Services like the IAS, IPS and IFS. Have they contributed towards national integration? No! Bollywood has done a better job. In any case states like J&K and the North-East are too eager that their cadre officers from outside serve in Delhi. North Indians don’t want to serve in the South and vice-versa. The local officers are much more influential in their own state and the state Governments function in whatsoever manner despite the presence of so called IAS and IPS officers. Today the country needs more Bhabhas, Sarabhais, Kalams, Swaminathans, Pitrodas, Gills, Gare Khans, Ratan Tatas, Monteks and Manmohans at the helm of affairs than the bureaucrats. It is time to signal a goodbye to them altogether or reduce their intake to the very minimum for regulation and induct technocrats/ specialists from outside for the thrust areas like telecom, finance, commerce, and defence.
Dr Manmohan Singh as a disciplinarian and an eminent economist has rightly focused on the need to reform the bureaucracy which has outlived its use. The country is waiting eagerly to see the outcome.
Can Bureaucracy be reformed?

Extract: PM's reply to Vote of Confidence 22July 2008, assurance
"Equally important is the effective implementation of the Right to Information Act to impart utmost transparency to processes of governance. The Administrative Reforms Commission has made valuable suggestions to streamline the functioning of our public administration."
Ex- Servicemen Plea: Dr Manmohan Singh has won the vote of confidence in the Parliament and has the active support of the vast majority of Indian population. We the Defence Forces of India repose hope and faith that the Sixth Central Pay Commission Report will deliver Justice to Defenders of the Nation.
