2)The civil service is responsible for implementing the policies made by the elected ministers in the government.
Answer:
Public administration of a country has to be manned by public services which can be called civil services also if they constitute a professional body of officials – permanent, paid and skilled. This great body of men and women that the government has for its daily contacts with the rank and file in the country performs varied functions. It is a civil army of functionaries necessary for the realization of the purposes for which government exists.
Public service denotes a wider canvas and can encompass employees of public corporation and local bodies, while civil service in British sense is quite restrictive and excludes judges. All civil servants are public servants but the opposite is not necessarily acceptable to all students of personnel administration. Starting from man management to personnel administration, the studies in this area have come to human resource development (HRD). The narrow objectives of Weberian bureaucracy are being replaced by democratic participatory models of public service, wherein efficiency has given way to effectiveness or long-term result orientation for good governance.
The ancient Indian or medieval Mughal models of civil service were out rightly rejected by the British who initiated a new model of merit bureaucracy for their senior civil services in the colony. But this Weberian model has to be combined with a guardian and patronage bureaucracy which at lower levels was bound to degenerate into a cast bureaucracy of M. Marx’s classification. The English rulers for sure knew the limitations of their model, but this was the ‘least bad’ for a colony which was too vast and had diverse groups without any national system of education.
