Review of Mandal (2005a, 2005 b): Public Service - I and II, The Statesman, New Delhi, April 6-7, 2005
In these two successive articles* Mr. Mandal, a former member of the Indian Civil Service, covers a very wide range of issues including providing an historical evolution of civil services in India. Noting the deteriorating standards of the Indian Administrative Service, he calls for market-driven civil services in India pleading for lateral entry to the civil services. Missed from these two-well written articles is the contribution eGov can make to good governance in the 21st century.
