Creating more autonomous agencies may not necessarily make the administration more people-friendly. The context highlights that the bureaucracy is insensitive to the demands of ordinary citizens and people are often afraid of approaching government officers. It suggests that only if the democratically elected government controls the bureaucracy can these problems be effectively handled. If agencies become autonomous and do not answer to ministers, they might lack the necessary accountability to address the needs and expectations of the people.

Autonomy does not automatically guarantee efficiency. While too much political interference can turn the bureaucracy into an instrument in the hands of politicians, efficiency requires the administration to faithfully and efficiently participate in drafting and implementing policies. The text notes that the administrative machinery must work under the control and supervision of the ministers to ensure that welfare policies reach the people and to prevent the executive from becoming unresponsive.

Democracy implies that the administration is under the control and supervision of elected representatives, but it does not mean unchecked interference in daily duties. In a democracy, ministers are in charge of the government and are responsible for retaining political control over the administration. However, the Constitution also expects the bureaucracy to be politically neutral and provides independent machinery for recruitment to protect civil servants, ensuring a balance between political accountability and administrative neutrality.
