1 Role Of State
The State plays an important role in framing recruitment rules and
staffing pattern for the local governments. This responsibility of the state
is a neglected one. If undertaken, it is not disclosed to the local bodies. In
the absence of definite, scientific staffing criteria determination and
laxity in framing rules, the local bodies take advantage of the situation.
This leads to indiscriminate appointments on political grounds and
encourages corruption as well as malpractice. This situation is further
aggravated by the fact that there is no definite agency for recruitment.
Interventions by state in these areas will improve municipal management
