Backwoods Babus - Have doscos lost interest?
 | Outlook Magazine is reporting that fewer people from the metros are being admitted into the IAS. In fact, less than 2 in 10 entrants were from a metro or a state capital in '04 and one out of four are kids of fathers who have not studied beyond matriculation. It represents a changing of the guard and probably better reflects the composition of India as a whole. But are fewer doscos applying the IAS and the IFS? Anecdotally, it certainly appears so. |
Why is this the case? Is it because we feel there are better paying jobs awaiting us abroad? Or because we are fed up with the the political system? Every few years, we discuss whether doscos are doing enough for the country. With fewer choosing government service, just as fewer people from the metros are too, what place will Doon have in the shaping of India two decades from now?
