Indian Administrative Service- the members of this service at the state level are good and efficient in conducting elections to the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies only.
Indian Police Service- the members are mostly deployed in VIP duties and rarely take initiative to gain the faith of the common man.
Indian Forest Service- the members have totally failed to protect the forest cover in this country.
They are called All India Services for name sake only because they are not constantly monitored, guided and protected by the Union Government. About 90-95 percent of their strength are being controlled and effectively made pliable by the heads of governments in each state. They are puppets in the hands of state politicians. They have lost their independence for acting in public interest. Almost the entire crowd are in the service of the ruling parties with some of their members working very closely with chief ministers as their glorified personal staff/servants serving their personal interests with those of their own.
These services can either be wound up and state services streamlined and strengthened for public service. Alternatively one can think of creating a Superior Civil service who can gain confidence of the people like the higher judiciary and not kept under the control of chief ministers so that they can execute the work fearlessly and effectively in the interest of the nation. Their recruitment, training, promotion and deployment can be ensured by an independent agency like UPSC.
