Bureaucrats are the victims of inability to go deep into the problems of development

The other day I was brooding on the issue why we do not develop in proportion to our potential to grow when we had best brains of the country in bureaucracy. Then I realise that toppers of IITs or IIMs are not necessarily the most successful lot of the country.  Then a spark came to my mind that it is not their fault, it is the fault in the attitudes. How? In government services people work for getting more facilities, higher class of travelling modes, larger bungalows, crowed to greet them. These things are available to the bureaucrat in the beginning or can easily be obtained by way of favours. They never think of being appreciated for good values, success in achieving the results in implementing the development programmes. A civil servant was killed in Maharshtra. All colleagues joined together to raise the voice for safety of the civil servants but no voice came from any body to modify the system where it would not allow such miscreants to grow. They now want security for enjoying the facility rather than improved system of functioning. Our bureaucrats are the victims of their inability to go in deep to search the root causes. They wish for eternal facilities even after death.
