Surplus OSDs !

I have an idea for the surplus OSDs at the secretariat. We have come to know from your newspaper that there are more than 500 OSDs (may be much more) from DS to additional secretary positions sitting idle and drawing salary and benefits from the national exchequer.

Instead of keeping them idle or assigning them with election duties and making the process further controversial, why doesn't the government (or the incoming caretaker government, for that matter) send them on deputation/lien to different local and international development agencies such as Grameen Bank, BRAC, Proshika or all those international and UN bodies? In this way, their cost would be saved for 2-3 years and at the same time these mid level bureaucrats would get the necessary exposure which would help them learn the core development issues in our society. This would help them reconnect themselves with society, which many of them seem to have lost from the day they joined the cadre service.
