Job pattern of Group ‘B’ officers and those at the entry level in Group A, in almost all the Government Departments, are very similar and there could be hardly any reason, except the legacy of India’s colonial past, for persisting with two classes of officers in the Government. It only instills sense of class difference in the officer’s cadre, which thoroughly demoralises the officers at cutting edge level, striking a fatal blow at the very roots of quality governance. There should be only two cadres viz. Gazetted and Non-Gazetted.
