However, as these recruits move up the ladder of their respective services, this middle class character is lost. People from rural background and also from SC/ST, retire before reaching the top positions. The people left are those with the urban background, St Stephenian et al. This trend is more pronounced at the Center than at the States. The work atmosphere at the Center only promotes officers good in writing notes and pushing files, may be in good oxfonian English, rather than those who have practical experience of the field.There should,therefore,be no surprise if the Central Government has to battle with lack of quality and practical governance.
