Forget the IAS, India Needs a Rural Administration Service -Ranjit Sabikhi

Development administration is a specialised job. At present, bureaucrats are transferred from one department to another with little attention to whether they have knowledge of agriculture or industries.

The new year calls for a basic change in priorities – a need to focus on the development of rural areas. The current farmers’ agitation has thrown into sharp relief the failure of the government to understand the concerns of a large section of the rural population and their real needs and aspirations.

Over the years, various governments have spent large sums of money to improve conditions in rural areas without having had a serious impact. More recently, the prime minister himself initiated a number of projects for rural improvement, including schemes for building pucca houses, providing a toilet in every rural home, training youths in craft skills in rural areas, and a programme to provide jobs to migrants returning home. However, all of these schemes have failed to facilitate real change in the overall rural environment.

This is partly because all such projects have been arbitrarily implemented in bits and pieces, and to a large extent because of lack of planning, and clear vision of what our future villages should be. As a result, there has been minimal change and overall conditions remain abysmal. Planning for the villages has to be implemented on a hands-on basis with a focus on the problems of each individual village – something that cannot be done by politicians sitting in state capitals, or by bureaucrats who are not privy to rural issues and problems.
