Chapter 59: The Meritocratic Backbone

To administer this rapidly industrializing and unifying nation, Adav knew India needed a governing body as efficient and incorruptible as Bharat Corporation itself. He pushed for the creation of a highly meritocratic civil service, a professional bureaucracy staffed by the most talented and loyal Indians, insulated from political patronage.

The process of identifying these individuals was rigorous. The Codex's [Social Analysis] module was deployed, not for political manipulation, but for talent identification. It processed data from newly standardized national educational institutions – universities, technical colleges, and vocational schools established or significantly reformed under Adav's influence. It identified students with exceptional analytical abilities, leadership potential, and an unwavering commitment to the nation's progress.

These individuals, regardless of their background or social standing, were offered competitive scholarships to the newly established National Administrative Academy. There, they underwent intensive training, not just in law and governance, but in economics, industrial management, modern scientific principles, and, crucially, the Swarajya Party's vision for India's future. They were imbued with a strong sense of national purpose and loyalty, ensuring that the government's policies would be implemented with the same ruthless efficiency that characterized Adav's business ventures. This pipeline of loyal, highly skilled administrators became the efficient backbone of the new Indian state, ensuring that Adav's architectural designs for Bharat were executed flawlessly.
