520			_aIn a young and continuously evolving democracy like India, Civil Services have remained at the epicenter of all government activities both as the agents of policymaking as well as the executive hand that delivers and implements those policies on-ground. When India became independent, our global share of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was less than 2% and our social and economic condition was quite adverse. In such a situation, the Indian state had to rise to the occasion and provide welfare to India’s citizens, so that they could achieve a basic standard of living. The agents of the state, i.e. the civil servants, had to adapt themselves to this reality. Under British rule, civil servants had mastered their role of maintaining law and order and collecting tax revenue from the population that were seen as subjects of the Crown. Now, they had to become effective providers of welfare to fellow citizens. They played this role until the late 1980s and the early 1990s. – Reproduced
