Recent reforms in Civil services
- Reforms in civil services are a continuous process and several initiatives have been taken in recent years
- The introduction of a multi-stakeholder feedback (MSF) performance evaluation
- dispensing with interviews for lower level positions
- introduction of online mechanisms for appraisals and filing of various returns by employees
- implementation of e-office
- strengthening training and merit-based postings.
- About 18 states and 7 union territories have also discontinued the practice of interview for recruitments to lower level posts.
Constraints
- Several constraints impede the development of a highly efficient, transparent and accountable civil service.
- There is a mismatch between positions and skill sets. Recruitment is not competency specific and often, the right person is not placed in the right job.
- Opposition to lateral entry, which hinders the development process.
- There is a need to forecast staffing needs in the civil services. This could ideally be done on a five-year rolling basis. There are instances of lack of employment opportunities in some areas, while there are many vacancies in others.
- Attracting talent and nurturing excellence, ensuring transparency and accountability along with participatory and representative.
