Wisdom lies in knowing what to reckon with and what to overlook. An officer being engrossed with the periphery, ignoring the core issues before him, is not rare in the bureaucracy. Do you agree that such preoccupation of an administrator leads to travesty of justice to the cause of effective service delivery and good governance? Critically evaluate.
हिन्दी
बुद्धिमानी में निहित है कि किसका ध्यान रखा जाए और क्या अनदेखा किया जाए। नौकरशाही में अपने सामने के मुख्य मुद्दों को अनदेखा करते हुए परिधि में लीन रहने वाले अधिकारी दुर्लभ नहीं हैं। क्या आप इस बात से सहमत हैं कि प्रशासक की इस तरह की व्यस्तता प्रभावी सेवा वितरण और सुशासन की लक्ष्य-प्राप्ति की प्रक्रिया में न्याय की विडंबना है? विश्लेषणात्मक मूल्यांकन कीजिए।
