Indian bureaucracy the worst in Asia: Survey

Singapore: Singapore's civil servants are the most efficient among their Asian peers, a business survey on 12 economies released on Wednesday showed, but they tend to clam up unhelpfully when things go wrong.

UNDOUBTABLY YOU ARE EITHER A BEAURUCRAT OR ONE OF HIS SIDEKICKS. YOU NEED TO VISIT ANY NATION WITH A FUNCTIONAL DEMOCRACY TO KNOW WHAT EFFICIENCY IS AND ALSO SOME OF THE INDIAN VILLAGES TO REALISE THAT EVEN '3 SQ MEALS'(HEARD OF FARMER'S SUCIDE) AND SOME KNOWLEDGE OF CURRENT AFFAIRS ( HEARD OF 26/11, JAIPUR,MALEGAON, DELHI BOMB BLASTS) TO KNOW WHAT SAFETY ON ROAD IS. ONE OF YOUR COLLEGUES ACTING AS A COWBOY ON 26/11 GETS KILLED & YOU GIVE HIM GALLANTRY AWARD ASHOK CHAKRA WHIST NOT A THOUGHT IS SPARED FOR THE COMMON MAN LIKE US .. WHO BY THE WAY SUFFER HOURS END OF POWER CUTS , LIMITED WATER AND ABSOLUTE APATHY AT HANDS OF PUBLIC SERVANTS . GET REAL MAN .

POPULATION IS RISING BECAUSE YOUR BREED HAS NOT BOTHERED TO EDUCATE THE MASSES

Do not cry over it!!!By: Shereen | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 15:56:42 PM Reply | Forward I do not agree to the idea that Indian breaucrats are completely corrupt and inefficient.The fact that a commoner can walk on the roads safely and get to eat three square meals a day to even the basic things like managing drinking water and electricity,which we cannot do without,Are all possible because of a bureaucrat.Ranking and studies are done with certain parametes and India might have failed on accounts of these.while blaming the system we also have to think about the pessure that the rising poulation raises in administration.India is only a developing nation and the other countries taken in comparison for the survey were far developed than India.With the limited resourses and challenges posed by the state,the fact that the administrative machinary is in place and functioning well is to be appreciated.

SHAMEFUL CRITICISM FOR INDIA AND ITS HONEST PEOPLEBy: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | Friday , 5 Jun '09 15:09:11 PM Reply | Forward It is really a shame for honest Indians and country for being branded as highly corrupt. But our politicians and officials who are bathing in corruption and prospering are not ashamed. They prosper in corruption and inefficiency.B S GANESH, BANGALORE

Private vs public sectorBy: Rajan Mehra | Thursday , 4 Jun '09 23:51:27 PM Reply | Forward There is a culture of corruption in the public sector bureaucracy. This is the reason most people do not trust the government to do anything. Even when the government has good idea, the implementation is left to an inefficient and corrupt bureaucracy. This is a problem of democracy. If public enterprises and government cannot be trusted, how does one ensure democratic control? I'm afraid there is no easy answer, as long as corruption and inefficiency is as rampant in the system as it is today.

Bright hopes for the ultimate 'Wildfire'.By: Praveen | Thursday , 4 Jun '09 9:23:57 AM Reply | Forward The day has finally come in our lives to merrily accept and proclaim that we are at least FIRST in the world in something. Gone are the days of philosophers, scientists and saints of highest intellect, and welcome to the days of most inefficient and corrupt politicians, under whose guidance and control our bureaucracy has become impotent and dysfunctional. Gone are the days when one regarded the land of birth as mother goddess, and welcome to the days of rapists who have no regard or even an air of the grand days of our nation and nationalism. The status quo is utterly pathetic, and it is better for this fact to be known to every ordinary man and woman, as we are ultimately responsible for bringing into power our politicians and bureaucrats. It may take a century for our nation, which other nations achieved on a one single revolutionary day; but the hope is bright for this fire, as only a fire leads to a wildfire.
