New civil servants need to usher in a culture of access

Hindustan Times  

The Union Public Service Commission recently published the results of the civil services examination held last year.

Neither charges of blatant political interference in day-to-day administration nor cases of corruption by public servants have diminished the allure of the services for the nearly three lakh youth who compete annually to join. The high levels of political corruption prevalent in almost all regions of the country are often cited as being responsible for the young officers falling prey to corruption early.
