Indian bureaucracy most inefficient in Asia: Survey

1: corruption,caste based reservation,lack of awareness among the people in the society is responsible for inefficient bureaucracy.besides till the day criminals are stopped from becoming leaders in the municipal bodies, gram panchayats,legislative assemblies, and our parliament till then it is impossible to have a clean and transparent bureaucracy.because people in the bureaucracy are IAS,IFS,IPS and other highly qualified and educated.but the ministers under which they work are all criminals and hence inspite of being capable they are unable to do their work with 100% efficiency.Hence we have the worst and most inefficient bureaucracy in the world.For example if you remember 2-3 years back a PWD engineer was stabbed to death in UTTAR PRADESH because he refused to donate the money for MAYAWATI'S birthday.similar instances keep occuring throughout india like killing of IAS,IFS,IPS officers who dared to work with honesty and dedication.It is not that we don't have good bureaucrats but the problem is that keep on electing criminal people as our representatives who never provide the healthy environment for the proper working of bureaucracy.i wish people soon realise this and only elect capable,highly educated,qualified person as their representatives.

2: This is a wrong article. Indian bureaucracy is most efficient in killing and jailing innocents. They are master of implementing laws to arrest women, they have arrested more than 1.5 lakh women in last 5 years without investigation in false dowry cases. They are most efficent in promiting misuse of 498a IPC (Dowry Law). Ram Balak

4: Inefficiency is only a matter of perspective! When I used to move with my senior bureaucrat parent many years ago, I found the Indian bureaucracy of fantastic efficiency. Just a request for something presonsl from the top was treated like royal command, and everything moved at lightening speed. But then, when the 'bloody' Indian came with a genuine request to these same bureacracts, they would turn into absolute devils.

Well, that is the truth about independant India.

5: "Inefficient" does not equal incompetence. Competent people turn inefficient when the system does not demand results and hold them accountable. So we are near 9.41 - when 10 is the worst. Unless the government changes the IAS system and makes it easier for good people to come into the system (not just a Nandan Nilekani as chairperson of UID), things will deteriorate - luckily not much we are near the worst already. Let us hope the government does something to reduce corruption and improve the efficiency of the bureaucracy.

6: no surprise when the stress of selection is only on the bookish knowledge...in fact our stratification in society based on caste and community reflects in bureaucracy...we still remember the celebration in lal bahadur shastri acedemic institute by a section of IAS trainee on the fall of babri masjid then how we can say that they deliver the justice impartially..................

7: Have the compared it for previous years? Is there an improvement or degradation? That would be more relevant than just a comparison for a specific year.

11: This will be normal as long as we, the citizens of India, are busy in our own work. It is pathetic to say that the politicians are elected by us and we dont have control over them. But how many of us have really thought about what we can do in this regard? When we pledge our precious hours of every day to somebody else and we don't have time to ourselves and our family, who has time to correct the system. Instead of only commenting like this and keeping quite, if anybody is really interested in making some change to the society and at the same time change your life, write to me at rangaswamy.blr@gmail.com

12:I fully agree with you but there is a need to workout a proper plan, matched with absolute action, go step by step - first being the "self conditioning" - LETS HOPE A POSITIVE COME OUT BUT NOT AS A BLOGGER BUT AS AN ACTIVIST" - there are lots of unsung heros who work relentlessly on it but without any proper platform & back up.Being in the system only can get results, where every attempt of right doers are strongly demolished by easily organised wrongdoers - my id is sovanparija@gmail.com

13: It is really shameful for India. But if we are thinking that it will be alright in future, i have no hopes as our political system will never want them to work efficiently.
