State of Civil Services Report : Online Survey
The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, Government of India, have commissioned an on line survey of officers belonging to ten civil services including those from the IRS.
While such surveys of civil servants take place periodically in some countries viz. Australia, U.K. and the USA, this is the first time that such a survey of civil servants is taking place in India.
The purpose of the Survey is to obtain data on the structural and personnel aspects of the civil services in general and also each of the specified services which would enable the government and the policy makers to assess the enabling factors with respect to personnel policies and work environment in meeting the objectives of the civil services .
The Survey is being conducted by the Centre for Good Governance (CGG), Hyderabad, an autonomous body established by the Government of Andhra Pradesh in 2003 to further the governance reform process.
The CGG has been selected by the DARPG for carrying out this survey that includes Income Tax and Customs & Central Excise Departments.
This survey is very important as it would provide valuable feedback on various issues affecting the Service and would also provide Government an opportunity to improve the conditions of Service taking the feedback into consideration.
The CBDT has requested its officers to fill in the questionnaire as soon as possible, in any case before 30 th November 2009. What about CBEC?
