The UPSC on Saturday advertised 45 posts inviting applications from "talented and motivated Indian nationals for lateral recruitment" to the posts of joint secretary, director, and deputy secretary in 24 ministries of the Union government. This is being seen as the biggest lateral hiring since Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government initiated the process as part of a policy in 2018-19.
Through the UPSC advertisement, the Centre has signalled that it wants to infuse the government machinery with domain expertise and fresh talent, especially in niche areas related to emerging technology, semiconductors, cybersecurity, climate change, organic farming and renewable energy, among others. However, whether the move will pay off would depend on the ability of such entrants to navigate the government systems as well as the autonomy given to these professionals, according to several current and former bureaucrats.
"For a lot of us, born and brought up in bureaucracy, the ability to hit the ground running is a lot better. Nuances on how the government functions, files proposals, understanding levels at which interventions are required, how to push policies is something one needs to know. Government takes a little bit getting used to," a joint secretary, who did not wish to be named, said. The official, however, added that a certain amount of cross breeding is good as it brings in a fresh perspective to the work.
