General Administration
In view of the increasingly complex and multifarious functions of the present day administration, a general purpose Service like the C.S. P. & the Class I Provincial Civil Service will have limited scope and utility as such. It can, however, provide a useful and good material for various posts in functional areas where organized Services do not exist and which require only some specialized training and experience, for which suitable arrangements can be made. A specific functional field may be carved out for the members of the all purpose civil service. This could consist of land revenue administration, exercise of magisterial functions and regulatory functions in the fields other than those looked after by officers of other functional services. Examples of such posts are Assistant Deputy Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners, Directors of Civil Supplies, Directors of Settlement, Directors of Land records, Revenue Secretaries, Home Secretaries, Divisional commissioners, etc.
The policy of grouping administrators is necessary to enable them to gain the knowledge and experience their work requires. Within each group the depth of understanding, skill, knowledge and experience demanded will vary with the level of responsibility. The higher the responsibility of the post, the greater the understanding required of its occupant. Professionalism must be there at all levels, senior and junior. It means the ability and the sustained effort needed to ensure that each job, whatever its level, is performed to a constantly improving standard.
The primary purpose of the administrators-economic, financial, and social-is not to duplicate the specialist knowledge of the scientist, engineer, social scientist, or vice versa. It is, rather, that the administrator, trained and experienced in his subjectmatter, should enjoy a more fruitful relationship with the specialist than in the past, and that the service should harness the best contribution from each.
The members of the Bangladesh Administrative Service at the appropriate level should be vertically decided into departments, in order to provide for specialized training in the different spheres of governmental activity. At the top level there will be the need of a corps of administrative who have wide general administrative experience, a breadth of view, a broad sweep over the entire field of administration, a broad liberal outlook, and, in one world, men who are well-versed in liberal administrative culture. It these men who will provide administrative leadership.
Personnel Administration & Management
The problem of personnel administration and management was not given its due importance by the governments in the past. The importance of the human element in administration has received adequate recognition in all advanced and progressive administrations all over the world. Human resources, now widely termed “human capital" are regarded as having a significance superior to that of physical and financial capital. Human resources, as Professor Tawney has pointed out, are by far the best resources that a country possesses. Consequently, efforts to devise effective and adequate means of getting the best out of the available manpower will have to be sharply accelerated.
