Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has set up a committee to finalize important changes in Pakistan’s civil service system. These reforms aim to replace the old system of lifelong government jobs with a modern, expert-led and merit-based structure.
According to the source, the planning ministry has shared its final suggestions for these reforms. These ideas focus on improving how civil servants are hired, trained, and promoted. They also include plans to introduce better performance-based rewards.
One of the key proposals is to create a pyramid-like system, similar to how the military works. In this structure, only the best officers will be promoted to top positions, which will help limit the number of senior posts and keep the system efficient.
Another idea is to hire people in groups based on their areas of expertise, such as general administration, finance, or IT. This means people with the right skills will work in jobs that match their strengths.
The Prime Minister has asked the committee to finalize the plan within a month. He also stressed the need to use the latest technology in government work and to make sure that government services focus more on the needs of the people.
If these changes are made, they could help make Pakistan’s bureaucracy more modern, professional, and responsive.
The goal is to replace outdated practices with a system that rewards skill, performance, and dedication, helping the government work better for its citizens. The final plan is expected to bring big changes in how civil servants are hired, trained, and promoted.
