Abstract

Despite several decades of rapid growth of the private sector in India, the allure of a public sector job, historically associated with security, steady pay, and multiple benefits, continues to remain strong for most Indians. The protests following the announcement of the Agnipath scheme for the armed forces, and the uproar around the Bihar railways recruitment issue prior to that have to be seen in this larger context of the aspirations and hopes that have been traditionally placed on public.
