NDTV
The heavy workload is taking a toll on the efficiency of the state's administration, affecting the delivery of public services.
Madhya Pradesh has witnessed creation of 55 districts across the state over the years, however this expansion has not been matched by a corresponding increase in the number of administrative officers.
On the flip side, the state's cadre of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers is shrinking, placing immense pressure on the current workforce. Approximately 350 IAS officers in Madhya Pradesh are now burdened with multiple responsibilities, with some managing between one to four additional charges.
This heavy workload is taking a toll on the efficiency of the state's administration, affecting the delivery of public services.
