The public servants in development sector sometimes use the development professionals as a unpaid worker for doing their job. A fleet of development workers are found roaming around them in any capital towns with heavy loaded degrees. A senior officer of one of the development department of a state government was asked by his bosses to prepare a proposal for establishing a state level training institution in the state. To prepare such a proposal requires time to justify the course of action & capacity to document which this officer was lacking. He played this game. He contacted the development consultants of the town & told them that there is an assignment for them. They should submit the proposal for the same. Now consultants worked on that issue & submitted the proposal. This gentleman picked up the best proposal & submitted to his bosses in his name. For such a quick response & good quality work this officer was highly appreciated. But at what cost? At the cost of unethical approach in consulting field.
