Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, who is in an election year, has been under fire as Covid cases have been surging amid complaints over lack of medical facilities and doctors.

What sort of a name is this – – Pratyaya Amrit! Did his parents give this name, or the gentleman himself changed his earlier name into this? Either way, it signifies a huge amount of ego in the family, which can mean one or both of these things: he will be difficult to work with, he will be non-corrupt.
This is the true state of “civil services”. People enter into it by rote learning to “secure” their future and land all the pleasures of the “Babu” life. “Not everyone is like that” is a convenient excuse given but I have seen and experienced first hand the reasons why people become civil servants and the backgrounds they become one from. The entry based on decades old testing methodology is broken. More weightage needs to be given to domain level expertise based induction too. Also, removal of repeated incompetent officers needs to become a thing
In such a huge state, why only one officer js competent and what rest are doing? Performing means you become overburdened and do the jobs of other incompetent officers. Incompetent officers must be removed from service. Public shouldn’t be forced to pay for incompetent officers salary. Such officers join civil services only to flaunt their status and are burden on country. Modi must review service rules og govt officials with provisions for dismissal for nonperformers.
Unfortunate that even after 70 years of independence, we’ve been unable to build a sustained inflow of quality officers and continue to rely on individual brilliance. Failure of successive govts.
