N1  - The civil service is the executive agency or the action arm of the state. This book discusses the inception, development, and the role of the higher civil services-the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and its allied services. Highlighting the nature and the variety of challenges that a developing democracy offers civil servants, the book outlines: the strategic positions members of the civil service occupy in all sectors of the government; how they execute laws and implement policies and decisions of the government; how their decisions influence the lives of all sections of society; and the importance of a civil service system that strengthens the government's partnership with private organizations
