The IAS Has Failed India and Must Change: Former RBI Governor Duvvuri Subbarao

In a 33-minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, Dr. Subbarao was asked if he was saying that the IAS is neither as competent as it should be nor as honest and incorruptible as it needs to be and he replied: “The short answer is yes”.

Dr. Subbarao said once upon a time the IAS had a “formidable reputation for competence, commitment and integrity” but that’s “unravelled”. Today “the IAS has lost its ethos and its way. Ineptitude, indifference and corruption have crept in”.
