Union law minister Veerappa Moily today underlined the vital role of IAS officers in helping curb Naxalism by ensuring implementation of central schemes and equitable development.
IAS officers have a role to play in ensuring that the schemes targeted at the underprivileged are implemented at the grassroot level, Moily said.
"But there have been shortcomings in this regard", he added.
Moily was speaking at a function organised to felicitate those selected for IAS and Karnataka Administrative Service (KAS) from a city institution.
The minister said it would require better commitment from IAS officers to defuse the Naxal activity by ensuring equitable development of all areas.
Implementation of such schemes would help in bringing down Naxalism, he said.
