Interesting Research Paper on DMG

[H. R. Akhunzada]

A really interesting research document.

"This paper has been adapted from a larger study entitled “Members’ and Opinion Leaders’ Perceptions of the Pakistani Federal Civil Services’ District Management Group” undertaken as the Capstone Project submitted for completion of the MPA degree at the University of Hawaii, USA. The actual study was carried out from August 1999 onwards."

This study was carried out through a 80-item questionnaire distributed to 107 DMG officers (and a 50-item common version sent out to 67 Opinion Leaders.) The primary aim of this survey was to ascertain stakeholders’ views of the DMG on a wide range of issues, both those directly related to DMG as well as those of more general interest relating to governance issues.

DMG Paper Published in Pakistan Studies

This research paper (published in last months of 1999) reflects trends of pre-devolution era, hence most of its findings are not valid now in the post devolution Pakistan.

Thats true, in actual i just liked the general perspective that the DMGs have shared about the elitist culture they are infamous for, the politicizing of the posts and authority, the reasons they preferred DMG, etc. The facts and figures have changed but the problems they face and the demands of the profession are somewhat the same as what we see today.

Here's another I think would interest you, haven't read it as yet but the title is interesting.

EDIT:

Also go through Mr. Nadeem ul Haque's blog. Old man, still a dreamer/reformer.
