Commission to recommend dropping of word 'cadre' from civil service

The Public Administration Reform Commission will recommend the government remove the word "cadre" from civil service.

Md Mokhles Ur Rahman, senior secretary of the Ministry of Public Administration, said this after a meeting of the commission at the Secretariat on Sunday.

He said the word "cadre" is perceived negatively so the commission will recommend its removal.

He said that among the reform proposals, the commission plans to recommend writing those services such as civil service (administration), civil service (health) and civil service (agriculture) without using the term "cadre."

He called this a significant reform that could ease the negative perceptions of civil service positions.
