A rethink on Civil services induction.

70% of recruits for civil services come from technical streams!

India is losing a good number of technocrats to civil services, adversely affecting such areas of specialisation, a parliamentary committee has said. The statistics given below say it all.

Year      Selected        Technocrats       Doctors
2011        1,001                   46                    142
2012        1,001                  408                   156
2013        1,228                  623                   168
2014        1,368                  699                   183
2015        1,164                  642                   160
2016        1,299                  717                   125
2017        1,056                  699                     59
2018           812                  509                     48
2019           922                  582                     56
2020           833                  541                     33

The situation, definitely, is alarming. The committee has recommended a serious rethink in the selection process into the civil services.

My take

It's an alarming situation because we need good youngsters in every walk of life! I'm sure the present skewed system will be quickly righted.


Tailpiece.

Got up a trifle before 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 9.

A quiet Sunday.
