There are rising expectations. Simply put, economy and society have witnessed rapid transformation, more so in recent years and in ways quite unimaginable a few decades from now. There is a big question mark regarding our preparedness as a society and as a nation to the changes that have swept all spheres of lives and activities.

Is excellence in public service being pursued with a strong enough determination? - Reproduced.  aCivil service - India  aCivil service  aIndian Journal of Public Administration
