 Discuss the issues faced by Public Servants’ Response When Facing Pandemic:?what do you understand the the terms ?

a)The Role of Public Service Motivation,

b)Accountability Pressure, and 

c)Emergency Response Capacity?

Public servants are regarded as guardians of the public interest, and their pandemic response played a vital role in controlling the spread of the epidemic.

  • The effectiveness of epidemic prevention and control of COVID-19 crucially depends on the effort and capacity of the millions of public sector workers from the front line to central administration.
  • Public servants adopt many measures to prevent and control the pandemic, including assisting health administrative departments and other relevant departments in collecting information, distributing and segregating personnel, and providing infectious disease prevention and control information to citizens. 


 Issues :

  •  many public servants are carrying an increased emotional burden linked to their duties and/or personal situation.

  • This crisis has forced public service leaders to reprioritise quickly, determine essential positions and areas, and redeploy the workforce to meet changing demand.




The Role of Public Service Motivation,
Motivation describes a reason or reasons for acting or behaving in a particular way. Typically a desire and willingness or enthusiasm is implied. It is these positive attributes that energise, direct and sustain the relevant behaviour

Public service motivation (PSM) is a multidimensional concept used to describe the motivators encouraging pro-social behavior

Public service motivation  PSM relates only to the notion that ‘individuals are oriented to act in the public domain for the purpose of doing good for others and society

Accountability Pressure:

The social pressure faced by public servants was mainly from accountability pressure due to the perception of the pandemic  response as inadequate. This study used accountability pressure (AP).


Emergency Response Capacity?

Emergency response capability (ERC) reflects a comprehensive capability to address such events as natural disasters, sudden public health or safety incidents, or military conflict .

Emergency response capability is a major indicator assessing the degree of difficulty faced by public servants when preventing outbreak

It critiques the reliance on English in legal proceedings and judgments, which often alienates non-English-speaking citizens, thereby questioning the accessibility and inclusivity of the justice system.

Explain the mechanism and occurrence of cloudburst in the context of the Indian subcontinent. Discuss two recent examples in India ?

-
 A cloudburst refers to an extreme weather phenomenon characterized by an intense and sudden downpour of rainfall over a small area within a short period of time, typically lasting for a few hours. Cloudbursts often occur in mountainous or hilly regions, including the Indian subcontinent, due to specific atmospheric conditions. The mechanism of a cloudburst involves the convergence of moisture-laden air masses, usually associated with the monsoon season in India. When warm, moist air encounters a barrier such as mountains or elevated terrain, it is forced to rise rapidly. As the air rises, it cools, leading to condensation and the formation of clouds. The upward movement of air continues until it reaches a level of instability where the moisture is rapidly released in the form of heavy rainfall. This concentrated and intense rainfall within a limited area is what characterizes a cloudburst. In the Indian subcontinent, cloudbursts are often associated with the Southwest Monsoon, whi...
