How many employees does the Central Government in India have?
Getting data on any government function is almost impossible in India. Luckily a report on CENSUS OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES up to 31st March 2009 and published in 2012 was available. Unfortunately, such is the state of affairs of our government that they themselves do not have the exact number of employees. The authors of the report lament that only about 45% of the 7,000+ departments submitted the information in the correct format, the data on the other departments was sourced from their annual reports and other sources.
Some interesting nuggets,
