Civil Servants
“Civil Servants need not be discouraged if somebody criticized them by saying that the administrative efficiency has dwindled down. This cry existed even when I was a junior officer of the civil service some three decades ago. Critics must realize that a civil servant today was assailed with various problems that never existed before such as food deficit, labour trouble, communist problem and many others”
Does this sound familiar and contemporary? This is an extract from a speech by Mr. M.K. Vellodi, Chief Minister of Hyderabad in 1951.
