| Babu scarcity | | | It is not only vacancies in the elite services that are worrying the government, but also dearth of officials in services such as forest management and data collection. There is a growing concern that the shortage of frontline staff for wildlife protection is taking a toll on conservation efforts.
According to the environment ministry, at least 40 per cent of the posts for wildlife staff are vacant. More worryingly, there is a marked reluctance of wildlife officials to serve in the frontline areas such as sanctuaries and forest reserves.
Similarly, the data collected by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) has been criticised in recent times for inaccuracies. Officials at the NSSO are quick to point out that the organisation does not have adequate experienced statistical officers to handle the assigned tasks. According to T.S.A. Anant, chief statistician and secretary, ministry of statistics and programme implementation, about 30 per cent posts in field areas have not been filled because of the delay in government approval.
