Bureaucracy with pro-people mind-set needed most

Abstract

The article titled "Bureaucracy with Pro-People Mindset Needed Most" by M. Azizur Rahman published in The New Nation on November 16, 2012, emphasizes the necessity for a citizen-centric approach within the bureaucratic framework of Bangladesh. It discusses how traditional bureaucratic practices, often characterized by rigidity and top-down decision-making, can hinder effective public service delivery. The piece advocates for the adoption of New Public Administration principles, which prioritize responsiveness to public needs, transparency, and social equity. By fostering a pro-people mindset among bureaucrats, the article suggests that governance can become more participatory, efficient, and aligned with the aspirations of the populace.
