Why is there a need to address the issue of lateral entry in UPSC recruitment according to Akhilesh
Akhilesh calls for nationwide movement against lateral entry in UPSC recruitment
- Lateral entry in UPSC recruitment can lead to bypassing the established competitive examination process, undermining the merit-based selection system.
- It may create a perception of favoritism and nepotism, as lateral entries could be based on connections or political influence rather than qualifications and experience.
- Existing civil servants who have cleared the rigorous UPSC exam may feel demotivated if lateral entries are allowed without following the same process.
- Without proper scrutiny and evaluation, lateral entries may result in appointing individuals who lack the necessary skills and knowledge required for bureaucratic roles.
- Addressing the issue is crucial to uphold the integrity and credibility of the UPSC recruitment process and ensure transparency and fairness in government appointments.
