Civil Service Losing its Image

             The present civil service Structure of the subcontinent is the legacy of the British colonial rules . Once the Civil Service was the most attractive and prestigious position.But the glory and image of the service has been deteriorating since the inception of Pakistan due to various reasons for losing the attraction of the service to the meritorious students is the low salary compared  to the fast growing private and multinational sectors.The salary structure has never been adjusted with the market.As such,the bright and  meritorious students are not getting onterested in joining the service.Another important reason is the lack of opportant thing is building career in the service.Promotion and other facilities are not ensured timely.The most important thing is faulty,non-transparent ,obsolete and lengthy recruitment system.Merit does not get priority in our recruitment system.More over,corruption , nepotism are common traits of the system.Policies are formulated and implemented by the civil servants.Negotiations on vital issues with the rest of the world are also conducted by the civil servants.Queations are raised regarding efficiency and required skill of our civil servants for the job.Our political leadership is also not in a position to take the lead rather they are more dependent on the civil service.People expect this goverrnment to make radical changes/reforms in  the civil service to make it more vibrant and efficient for the wellbeing of the nation.
