Though need for specialised expertise is now recognised in economic ministries, it is still not deemed necessary in areas of health, education, agriculture, etc. By ensuring longer tenures and promoting de-cadreisation through lateral recruitment of expertise, the higher civil service will be able to maintain its federal character, insulate itself from political pressure and become more professional. - Reproduced  aCivil service  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a36769  c36769d36769  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 33, Issue no: 7pAR37090r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
