বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ দলিলপত্রঃ তৃতীয় পত্র
of the feeling that all officers are equally responsible for the administration of the country, it would be impossible to secure the fulfillment of the purposes of the state. Again, no form of government, no pattern of administration can remain static. It must always be in a state of evolution and of self-adjustment, if it is to fulfill adequately the changing demands and needs of a new nation. The demands and needs, as already stated earlier, will be heavy and exacting. The organized Civil Service, with welldefined rules of recruitment, promotion and other conditions, which came into existence in Britain in 1854, on the basis of the Trevelyan and Northcote Report, has been subjected throughout the past century to periodical reviews and adjustments. As a consequence, the British Civil Service has shown itself to be an adaptable body, remarkably capable of standing heavy strains and of adjusting itself to a large variety of tasks and situations. It is urgently necessary to refashion the Bangladesh Services in order to create a flexible organisation which can function with facility and efficiency both in the dynamism of industrial and social planning and execution, and also in the strains and stresses of a national emergency.
The government of a democratic socialist state must concentrate on the wider and more positive needs of all-round development and progress in the agricultural, industrial and social fields. The whole purpose of government will undergo a radical re-orientation; this will be reflected more and more in the successive five-year plans. The major problem which will emerge will be that of fulfilling the development programmes. The formulation of co-ordinate plans of development and the allocation of financial resources will not by themselves ensure fulfillment, unless competent technical and administrative manpower are recruited to the services to provide the motive power. Viewed from any point of view, a fundamental re-organisation of the Services is called for. The following criteria should determine the structure of the services:
The New Structure of the Civil Service
What should be the criteria to determine the structure of the new services that we propose to build up in Bangladesh? The new structure of the new Services should in our view be based on the following principles:
(1) There must be a searching analysis and evaluation of the Job. Both the grading of a post and the selection of the man to fill it should be base on it.
(2) Each post should be filled by the person best fitted by his qualifications and experience to fill it. No other consideration should be allowed to determine it.
(3) There must not be any reservation of posts for any group as there is to-day for the members of the C.S.P. It must go, except in so far as individuals comprising the group may be uniquely qualified for them, that is, doctors for medical posts.
(4.) Since the qualifications and experience required for particular posts will vary from time to time, it should be right and duty of management to determine the new qualifications and experience required for them.
(5) Merit or ability should govern the promotion of man to fill individual post. Right man must be in the right place, even if he is not the next in the order of seniority, or bring
