The Bangladesh Civil Service

 It is already stated above that all the non-technical Central Superior Services, including the C. S. P., all other Central (non-technical) Services, and all the nontechnical Provincial Services, including all classes, should be merged, organized and unified into a single grading structure to be known as the Bangladesh Administrative Service. The members of this service will fill different posts in the grades in the structure. This may be done on the following basis: (a) present positions or posts held by different officers, (b) performance record, (c) competence, (d) length of service, (e) academic background, and (f) suitability.

 It is hoped that the members of the various services referred to above shall accept it, taking into account the basically altered circumstances. However, if any member of anyone of these services is unwilling to join this new structure, he may be retired on proportionate pension on the basis of the length of his service. A high-powered Committee consisting of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice of the High Court, and another senior Judge of the Supreme Court, the Chairman Public Service Commission and two or three retired civil servants shall go into the whole question.

 It may be pointed out that the Fulton Committee on the Civil Service in Britain made similar recommendations with regard the structure of the British Civil Service. The Committee said, “In our view, all Civil servants should be organized in a single grading structure in different pay-levels matching different levels of skill and responsibility, and the correct grading for each post is determined by an analysis of the job". In an attempt to give a concrete shape to this structure and the Committee further observed, “We propose the merger of the Administrative Executive, and Clerical classes, as recommended to us by the Treasury." It may be also helpful to mention that in 1945 France took the bold and rational step of integrating the services into a single civil service. But they are trained and equipped differently to discharge their respective responsibilities. It swept away the cobwebs of narrow departmentalism which inhibited the growth of unity among the Civil servants. The Indian Administrative Reforms Commission made similar recommendation with to the Civil Services in India. The commission recommended a unified grading structure.

The Scientific & Technical Services

 The importance of Science and technology cannot be over-emphasized. Our whole future, it may safety be asserted, depends, to a considerably greater extent than is adequately appreciated and understood, on the application of science and technology, of to our economy and social life. The development of science and technology, of researches in science and technology, and of the scientific and technical manpower should receive the highest priority in any scheme of national development, economic and social. Our scientists, our engineers, our medical doctors, and other technically qualified men and women should be accorded their due recognition in the administrative system. Nothing should prevent or should be permitted to prevent the eminently qualified scientists, engineers, doctors, and other technical personnel from occupying the top positions in their
