Indian Civil Service

Indian Civil Service, also known by the acronym ICS, was the elite of the civil service in the service of the Indian Government. It was founded by the British colonial rule in India. Today's Civil Services of India are organized differently.

History

There were two exclusive groups of employees in the public sector during the formation period of British rule in India. Employees of the Advertisement of service, who came as " covenants " along with the East India Company in India were referred to as " covenanted servants ", as contractually obligated, while those who had not signed a contract as " uncovenanted " were called. The latter were commonly the lower positions. The distinction between covenanted and uncovenanted ended with the establishment of the Imperial Civil Service of India, based on the recommendations of the Public Service Commission 1886 - 1887 was based, although the term " covenanted " continued to be used for each in a paid position with a long-term contract - also for " boxwallahs " - itinerant peddler with boxes.

The term Imperial Civil Service was later changed to the Civil Service of India. Nevertheless survived the term Indian Civil Service (ICS ). The abbreviation ICS was further used to characterize the 2,000 - covenanted employees of the public service. The Provincial Civil Service (Eng. about provincial administration ) was also established on the basis of the recommendations of the Aitchison Commission and consisted of two groups ( squads ), the Provincial Civil Service and the Subordinate Civil Service (German child public service). In the course of development of the various administrative departments took place adjustments to this scheme squad. Thus, for example, had the Forest Service and the Public Works Administration both "imperial " as " provincial " branches. The basic pattern of the squad schemes in the public sector followed the recommendations of the Aitchison Commission.

The Indian Civil Service has long been one himself. Apprehending an elite group of British officials who were wont like their racist prejudices about uneducated Indians 1866 was the first time through persistent lobbying of the Indian scholar and later the first deputies Dadabhai Naoroji, in India and Britain simultaneously hold entrance examinations for the ICS, which led to the recording of the first nine Indian officials in the ICS.

None other than the former members of the Indian Civil Service Cecil Rhodes described the " profound conviction that carries a every Englishman in India in the heart, from the highest detected down to the lowest, from the plantation manager in his lonely bungalow to the Editor in Chief in the bright light of a provincial capital, from Chief Commissioner within whose jurisdiction an important province, to the Viceroy on his throne - the conviction of each of these men, that he belongs to a race that God has ordained for the government and rule ".

With the mass deaths in the bloody battlefields of the First World War, these racist self-certainty was lost: Fewer and fewer young Britons had joined up for the service in the Indian Civil Service. During the Second World War, a hiring freeze for British officers in the Indian Civil Service had been available. Almost 1,000 British were only employed as members of the Indian Civil Service on New Year 1947.

Beginning in 1934, was the administration of India from seven india wide administrations and five central departments, all under the supervision of the Secretary of State and three central departments, which were the joint supervision of the province and of the Indian Empire. The ICS and the Indian police were conferred, in the oversight of these services and their suggestions was transferred from the Secretary of State to the provincial governments. It should be mentioned that the india -wide and world-class administrations have been developed since 1924, according to the Lee Commission report as Central Senior Services.

After the partition of British India, the Pakistani part of this administration have been designated as Central Superior Services ( CSP ), while the Indian part kept its name Indian Civil Service.

Today's Indian Civil Service

Although today's careers in management and in the IT sector have influence on the youth of the country, the public service has its very wide popularity not lost, which he enjoyed since the years of British rule.

The Indian Administrative Service ( IAS) replaced the ICS and the structures before independence of india wide administrations, provincial or state governments and central government or union administrations remained.

The Constitution allows for the creation of additional departments of the Civil Services as india wide or central administrations when they are adopted by a two-thirds majority of the Rajya Sabha. The Indian Forest Service (Eng. Indian Forest Service ) and the Indian Foreign Service (Eng. Indian Foreign Service ) are two governments that emerged under this Constitution premise.

The management of a vast and diverse country like India requires efficient management of its natural, economic and human resources. This exactly is the responsibility of the Civil Services. The land is managed by a number of central government agencies in accordance with the policy directives of the government ministries.

The construction of the Civil Services follows a certain pattern. The india wide administrations, central government and the state governments together form the Civil Services.

The Indian Administrative Service ( IAS), the Indian Police Service (IPS ) and the Indian Forest Service ( IFS), all three of india wide administrations.

The Indian Foreign Service ( IFS), Indian Revenue Service ( IRS) and 43 more administrations are among the central government.

The State Administrative / Civil Service, the State Police Service and the State Forest Service are among the state governments, whose examination is exercised by the individual Indian states.

The UPSC Civil Services exams ( the exams of Public Administration, the Forest Service and the building administration ) are among the toughest in the world, where among more than 200,000 applicants annually, only about 450 candidates are selected. All three india wide administrations - IAS, IPS, IFS (Indian Forest Service ) and the two central administrations - IFS (Indian Foreign Service ) and IRS - are among the most coveted administrations and only the candidates who belong to the top, have a chance to enter.

Before entering the Civil Services in India one has to pass the examination by the Union Public Service Commission ( UPSC ) conducts.
