What is the Importance of civil Servants in running the government?

Answer:

(i) The civil servants are usually more educated and have more knowledge of the subject.

(ii) The advisors working in the Finance Ministry know more about economics than the Finance Minister.

(iii) Sometimes, ministers may know very little about the technical matter that come under their ministry, but they are supported in all these matter by the civil servants.
