INTRODUCTION
The UPSC is a central agency that has great responsibility for conducting examinations
pertaining to Civil Services, Engineering Services, Defence Services, and Medical Services. It
also conducts Economic Service, Statistical Service, and Police Forces examination.

The Union Public Service Commission of India was formed by the British Government during
the British rule. In 1924, Lee Commission had suggested in its report for the establishment of
an independent and impartial Public Service Commission for India and on the basis of such
recommendation, the Union Public Service Commission was established in 1926.

Consequently by the government of India Act 1935, Public Service Commission was
established separately for both the central and the state government services. After
independence, arrangements were made to establish an independent and neutral Union Public
Service Commission for the said purpose following the pattern adopted in the Government of
India Act 1935. The work of a modern government in any country is carried on by its
administrative agencies. There has been a phenomenal expansion in the fbnctions of the state
and reliance is laid heavily on the organisational and administrative capacity of the
government. Sound administrative .organisation, methods and procedures, competent public
servants devoted to public interest, are some of the essential requirements for proper
performance of the fbnctions of the present day State. When civil servants occupy such an
important role, especially in these days of State assuming overwhelming responsibilities, the
important aspects relating to their recruitment, training, emoluments, conditions of service,
promotion policies, etc. assume importance. The impartial consideration of these matters
relating to civil-servants requires an independent and expert authority - the institution of Public
Service Commission.

In India, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) occupies an important position in our
constitutional scheme and its relation with the government are complex. It is an independent

7
constitutional body for impartial consideration of service matters of government employees.
It has important constitutional functions and duties but has only an advisory role, while the
ultimate authority rests with the government. In a democratic system, the selection commission
has to strive towards an efficient and economical management and creation of public service
maintaining the ideals of a democratic government. In a welfare state, the objective of service
to the people further complicates the task of personnel

Central Administration administration. The success or failure of a system is gauged by the


ability of the organisation in personnel management to meet the above objectives

HISTORY OF UPSC
Civil Servants for the East India Company used to be nominated by the Directors of the
Company and thereafter trained at Haileybury College in London and then sent to India.
Following Lord Macaulay’s Report of the Select Committee of British Parliament, the concept
of a merit based modern Civil Service in India was introduced in 1854. The Report
recommended that patronage based system of East India Company should be replaced by a
permanent Civil Service based on a merit based system with entry through competitive
examinations. For this purpose, a Civil Service Commission was setup in 1854 in London and
competitive examinations were started in 1855. Initially, the examinations for Indian Civil
Service were conducted only in London. Maximum age was 23 years and minimum age was
18 years. The syllabus was designed such that European Classics had a predominant share of
marks. All this made it difficult for Indian candidates. Nevertheless, in 1864, the first Indian,
Shri Satyendranath Tagore brother of Shri Rabindaranath Tagore succeeded. Three years later
4 other Indians succeeded. Throughout the next 50 years, Indians petitioned for simultaneous
examinations to be held in India without success because the British Government did not want
many Indians to succeed and enter the ICS. It was only after the First World War and the
Montagu Chelmsford reforms that this was agreed to. From 1922 onwards the Indian Civil
Service Examination began to be held in India also, first in Allahabad and later in Delhi with
the setting up of the Federal Public Service Commission. The Examination in London
continued to be conducted by the Civil Service Commission.

Similarly, prior to independence superior police officers belonged to the Indian (Imperial)
Police appointed by the Secretary of State by competitive examination. The first open
competition for the service was held in England in June, 1893, and 10 top candidates were
appointed as Probationary Assistant Superintendents of Police. Entry into Imperial Police was
thrown open to Indians only after 1920 and the following year examinations for the service
were conducted both in England and India. Indianisation of the police service continued to be
very slow despite pronouncement and recommendations of the Islington Commission and the
Lee Commission. Till 1931, Indians were appointed against 20% of the total posts of
Superintendents of Police. However, because of non availability of the suitable European
candidates, more Indians were appointed to the Indian Police from the year 1939 onwards.
Regarding Forest Service, British India Government started the Imperial Forest Department in
1864 and to organize the affairs of the Imperial Forest Department, Imperial Forest Service
was constituted in 1867. From 1867 to 1885, the officers appointed to Imperial Forest Service
9
were trained in France and Germany. Till 1905, they were trained at Coopers Hill, London. In
1920, it was decided that further recruitment to the Imperial Forest Service would be made by
direct recruitment in England and India and by promotion from the provincial service in India.
After independence, the Indian Forest Service was created in 1966 under All India Service Act
1951.Regarding Central Civil Services, the Civil Services in British India were classified as
covenanted and uncovenanted services on the basis of the nature of work, pay-scales and
appointing authority. In 1887, the Aitchinson Commission recommended the reorganization of
the services on a new pattern and divided the services into three groups-Imperial, Provincial
and Subordinate. The recruiting and controlling authority of Imperial services was the
‘Secretary of State’. Initially, mostly British candidates were recruited for these services. The
appointing and controlling authority for Provincial services was the respective provincial
government, which framed rules for these services with the approval of the Government of
India. With the passing of the Indian Act 1919, the Imperial Services headed by the Secretary
of State for India, were split into two-All India Services and Central Services. The central
services were concerned with matters under the direct control of the Central Government.
Apart from the Central Secretariat, the more important of these services were the Railway
Services, the Indian Posts and Telegraph Service, and the Imperial Customs Service. To some
of these, the Secretary of State used to make appointments, but in the great majority of cases
their members were appointed and controlled by the Government of India. The origin of the
Public Service Commission in India is found in the First Dispatch of the Government of India
on the Indian Constitutional Reforms on the 5th March, 1919 which referred to the need for
setting up some permanent office charged with the regulation of service matters. This concept
of a body intended to be charged primarily with the regulation of service matters, found a
somewhat more practical shape in the Government of India Act, 1919. Section 96(C) of the
Act provided for the establishment in India of a Public Service Commission which should
“discharge, in regard to recruitment and control of the Public Services in India, such functions
as may be assigned thereto by rules made by the Secretary of State in Council”. After passing
of the Government of India Act, 1919, in spite of a prolonged correspondence among various
levels on the functions and machinery of the body to be set up, no decision was taken on setting
up of the body. The subject was then referred to the Royal Commission on the Superior Civil
Services in India (also known as Lee Commission). The Lee Commission, in their report in the
year 1924, recommended that the statutory Public Service Commission contemplated by the
Government of India Act, 1919 should be established without delay. Subsequent to the
provisions of Section 96(C) of the Government of India Act, 1919 and the strong
10
recommendations made by the Lee Commission in 1924 for the early establishment of a Public
Service Commission, it was on October 1, 1926 that the Public Service Commission was set
up in India for the first time. It consisted of four Members in addition to the Chairman. Sir Ross
Barker, a member of the Home Civil Service of the United Kingdom was the first Chairman of
the Commission.

The functions of the Public Service Commission were not laid down in the Government of
India Act, 1919, but were regulated by the Public Service Commission (Functions) Rules, 1926
framed under sub-section (2) of Section 96(C) of the Government of India Act, 1919. Further,
the Government of India Act, 1935 envisaged a Public Service Commission for the Federation
and a Provincial Public Service Commission for each Province or group of Provinces.
Therefore, in terms of the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935 and with its coming
into effect on 1st April, 1937, the Public Service Commission became the Federal Public
Service Commission.

With the inauguration of the Constitution of India in January 26, 1950, the Federal Public
Service Commission came to be known as the Union Public Service Commission, and the
Chairman and Members of the Federal Public Service Commission became Chairman and
Members of the Union Public Service Commission by virtue of Clause (1) of Article 378 of
the Constitution.

11
FUNCTIONS OF THE UPSC
The functions of the UPSC as specified under Article 320 of the Constitution bear resemblance
to those of the Federal Public Service Commission as specified in Government of India Act
1935.

These functions may be broadly classified into three categories, viz., (1) regulatory; (2)
executive and (3) the quasi-judicial. 1) Regulatory: Among the regulatory functions the UPSC
advises the government in matters relating to (i) methods of recruitment and (ii) the principles
to be followed in making appointments, promotion and transfer from one service to another.
However, unlike the regulatory jurisdiction vested in the United States Civil Service
Commission (USCSC), the UPSC in India has hardly any such powers. The UPSC's
jurisdiction is purely advisory. Article 320 (3) of the Constitution merely states that it is the
duty of the Commission to advise the government on all matters relating to the methods of
recruitment to civil services, promotions and transfers. Thus, unlike the USCSC, the UPSC
cannot make regulations on personnel matters which will be binding on all government
departments. Although certain functions of the UPSC are often described as being regulatory
ones but in reality these are purely advisory functions.

2) Executive Functions: The Commission has a specific constitutional duty of conducting


examinations for appointments to the services of the Union. Under this provision the UPSC
conducts many written examinations for different categories of post annually, besides the
holding of interviews for selection of candidates for specialised and other categories of
positions. Here too it may be noted that the Commission's jurisdiction is narrowly restricted to
gazetted officers who constitute an insignificant proportion of the total number of government
employees. This means that the executive jurisdiction of the Commission extends to only 1.9%
of the total employees of the Central Government.

Another executive function of the UPSC is to present annually to the President a report of the
work done by the Commission during the preceding year. The President is obliged to place the
report before both houses of the Parliament with a memorandum explaining the cases, if any,
where the advice of the Commission was not accepted and reasons for such non- acceptance.

3) Quasi-judicial Functions: The quasi-judicial jurisdiction of the UPSC is limited both in scope
and extent. In fact it has no true appellate jurisdiction. It can only advise on disciplinary actions

12
taken against employees. According to the Constitution, the government should consult the
Commission on the following matters: ,

i) All disciplinary actions affecting a government employee like censure, withholding of


increments or promotion, reduction to a lower grade, compulsory retirement, removal or
dismissal from service, etc.

ii) Claims far reimbursement for costs incurred by an employee in legal proseedinks instituted
against him in respect of acts done in the execution of his duty.

iii) Claims for the award of pension in respect of injuries sustained by an employee and any
question as to the amount of any 'Zuch reward (Constitution of India, Article 320(3)(C)).

The UPSC derives its functions, apart from the Constitution of India as discussed above, from
other sources too like (a) the laws made by the Parliament, (b) rules, regulations and orders of
the executive, (c) conventions.

Under Article 321 of the Constitution, the parliament through legislation, can c~nfer additional
functions on the UPSC pertaining to the services of the Union or the States. If necessary, the
Parliament can place the personnel system of any local authority, corporate body or public
institution within the jurisdiction of the Commission.

According to Article 318 and 320 of the Constitution, the Central Government through certain
regulations and orders entrust certain fbnctions to the Commission. Also the President may
define fiom time to time through regulations, the matters in which the Commission need not
be consulted.

The Commission also discharges certain functions, which through conventions have been
entrusted to it, though these are not stipulated in the Constitution. Under the Constitution,
recruitment to the Defence forces is beyond the purview of the Commission, as the defence
service is not a part of the Civil Service. But since 1948 the Commission has been conducting
written tests for the selection of scientists and technicians for the pool of highly qualified
scientists and technologists, who are deputed to Central Government, scientific institutions,
national laboratories, universities etc. These fbnctions are being discharged by the UPSC on
the basis of conventions only.

13
LIMITATIONS OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE UPSC

There are certain matters which have been kept outside the scope of the functions of the UPSC.
These include:

a) The Constitution of India, under Article 335, requires the government to .take into
consideration the claims of the members of the Scheduled Castes and Tribes in the matters of
appointment to various posts. As per Article 320(4) the UPSC need not be consulted as regards
the extent to which the reservations are to be made for the candidates belonging to the
Scheduled Castes and Tribes. But once these conditions are determined, the Commission as a
recruiting agency proceeds with the process of selection.

b) The President has been empowered to make regulations excluding matters from the purview
of consultation with UPSC. All such regulations must be laid before each House of Parliament
for approval for a period of not less than fourteen days. The Parliament if necessary can modify
or annul them.

The posts, the recruitment of which does not require the advice of UPSC include membership
or chairmanship of tribunals, commissions, high powered committees, posts of a highly
technical and administrative nature and filling up of temporary positions where appointments
are made for less than a year.

14
POWERS OF UNION PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION (U.P.S.C)
Main power of Union Public Service Commission is its advisory power. It can give advises to
the President and the governors of any State of the following affairs:

1. On all matters related with the appointment of the civil services of the governments.
2. The evaluation of the standard and efficiencies of the candidates for appointment, promotion
or transfer in all civil posts.
3. On all matters regarding the discipline and punctuality of the employees of All India Services.
4. Affairs associated with the demands and benefits of employees working under the All India
Civil Services and injured while on duty.
5. Whether the payment or expenditure for any work of an employee of All India Civil Services
will be borne by the consolidated fund of India.
6. Regarding discipline and promptness in government functions of paying compensation to a
government employee if he suffers any problem or financial loss due to the negligence on the
part of the government, matters related with the punishment measures of those employees who
have violated discipline or of all matters related with the interest of the government employees
working under the central government.

The Constitution of India has made the Public Service Commission a simple advisory
institution which is required to give advises to the subject sent to it by the President of India or
by the Governors of the States. But to accept or refuse advises is the absolute discretion of the
respective governments.

This is because India has adopted a responsible self-governing government where in the council
of ministers cannot delegate its responsibilities to their employees to any other organization.
Though at the same time, it should not neglect advises made by a commission consisting of
experienced and expert persons.

In brief, The UPSC is the central recruitment agency in India. It is a sovereign constitutional
body being directly created by the Constitution of India.

15
CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS

1. Article 315 to 323 of Indian Constitution has a provision for such an agency.

UPSC AND CENTRAL VIGILANCE COMMISSION


Since the emergence of CVC, the role of UPSC in disciplinary matters has been affected. Both
are consulted by the government while taking disciplinary action against a civil servant. Here,
UPSC being an independent body has an edge over CVC which got statutory status in 2003.

Here, UPSC being an independent body has an edge over CVC which got statutory status in
2003. Recently, in order to ensure speedy finalisation of disciplinary matters and to avoid
possibilities of the difference of opinion between UPSC and CVC, it has been decided as a
policy to prescribe only one consultation- either with CVC or UPSC. However, in disciplinary
cases wherein UPSC is not required to be consulted, the consultation with CVC would continue
to be made.However, in disciplinary cases wherein UPSC is not required to be consulted, the
consultation with CVC would continue to be made.

EXEMPTIONS

In order to exempt some posts which for reasons of National Security or some other reasons
may not be required to be referred to the Commission for their advice, the Union Public Service
Commission (Exemption from Consultations) Regulations were issued on September 1, 1958,
under Article 320(3)(a) and (b) of the Constitution. These Regulations are amended or revised
as and when the need arises. The following matters are kept outside the purview of UPSC:

1. While making reservations of appointments or posts in favour of any backward class of citizens
2. While taking into consideration the claims of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes in making
appointments to services and posts
3. With regard to the selections for chairmanship or membership of commissions or tribunals,
posts of the highest diplomatic nature and a bulk of group C and group D services
4. With regard to the selection for temporary appointments for not more than a year

18
5. The President can exclude posts, services and matters from the purview of the UPSC. The
President can also, in respect to the all-India services and Central services and posts may make
regulations specifying the matters in which it shall not be necessary for UPSC to be consulted.
All such regulations shall be laid before the Parliament which can amend or repeal them.

MECHANISATION – PROJECT SAMPERA


The Commission has recently undertaken a project called “SAMPERA” (Screening and
Mechanised Processing of Examination and Recruitment Applications). A simplified single
sheet common application form for all the examinations has been devised which will be
scanned by using OMR/ICR technology.

The implementation of this project will mainly help in high speed scanning of data from forms
eliminating manual entry. Other benefits will be accurate and faster generation of Admit Cards,
Attendance lists with photo replica and signature facsimile of each candidate, and Error-free
list of doubtful cases.

The main aim of this project is to cope with the increasing volume of applications through
innovations and mechanised handling so as to reduce the processing time and send
communications faster to minimized errors. The cases of impersonation/malpractices will also
be eliminated and wasteful expenditure will be reduced.

Suggestions for rejuvenating UPSC

1. To serve as a think-tank on personnel issues: It should go beyond the recruitment role to


answer evolving issues relating to civil services and their role in a rapidly changing society.

19
2. Association of Research Institutes and Universities in the functioning of UPSC: Services
are often out of touch with new developments in technology and knowledge. UPSC should
liaison with such institutions to conduct regular specially designed courses for
administration
3. Need of Decentralisation on the pattern of US: The increase in work of the commission has
been manifold, it currently handles more than 14 lakh applications and scrutinises and
advises in regard to 650 Recruitment Rules of different services/posts. There is a need of
decentralization to effectively align with this increase in workload
4. Keep in sync with changing times: UPSC so far has worked with remarkable competence,
impartiality and integrity.

However a new world based on openness, accountability and delivery has emerged. UPSC
needs to be in sync with these changes.

CONCLUSION

The Personnel in Government Service has the high responsibility of not only holding the
society together in peace and harmony with regulatory powers but also to bring about progress
and prosperity with plans and projects of speedy development. Change is the biggest story in
the world today , In modem era , The method of training should also undergone changes .
Institutional training is coming to occupy an important place . On the job training is certainly
essential but it is not enough . Institutions are assuming greater responsibility for supervising
20
training in the field changed context of government functions undertaken to promote socio-
economic development at a fast pace .

The following challenges are :

• To improve efficiency in work through technical knowledge and skill.

• To create positive attitude towards job and empathy for people to be served. Computer is an
important hold for the administrators of today have a systematic input of computers and to
expose the trainees to its various potentialities a training unit of the National Informatics Centre
(NIC ) was setup in the Academy 1988. The scale of training needs to be linlced up at two
levels :- one at the level of the irrigation bureaucracy formal and informal training should help
in capacity building of concerned officers and field staff of the irrigation department . New
Public Management ( NPM) based reforms to the IAS that should ultimately contribute to
improvement in overall service delivery especially to the poor . Development in information
and communication technologies have opened new vistas for governance as well active
implementation for evolving a comprehensive and qualitative system of public service delivery
e- governance is in developing a global nub by linking communities locally and globally
improving quality of life emerging the economic engine and enhancing the potential of
individuals . The present day higher education management require altogether different kind
of competencies and skills and the educational administrators should have a global vision
entrepreneurial skills , professional acumen and adequate financial management ability. So the
civil servants have an important role to play because they are the ones who analyses issues and
place the options for decision before government, so in this condition the civil servants should
be trained in every place which they can faced problems and solves all situation. Recently after
1990 the scope of globalization and privatization is increased and public sector is removed in
private sector in this situation training should be different and civil servants should be fully
skillful , Knowledge about IT, E- governance , efficiency , Technology , Decision making ,
power , Management these are part of development because knowing these a civil servant can
face any problems . The world is changed in the field of science and technology . So training
is need of IAS officers for facing problems . The Globalization provides a fascinating field of
study . It is viewed as an agent of change . Globalization can be viewed as a structural change
in economic, political and social activity. Globalization has several features :

1. It implies removal of protective methods for enabling foreign productions to freely


competitive in the Indian market.

2. It allows foreign investment without much restriction along with the inflow of foreign
investment without much restriction along with the inflow of foreign exchange through foreign
loans .

3. It allows substantial reduction in customs duties both for increasing exports and imports.

So the civil service relates to the whole of society and the political economy . The norms of an
administrative system are both old and new . Civil service in the current decades will have face
challenges administration in modem society has become an all pervasive affairs through
political direction economic .management ,socio-engineering and increased bureaucratization
. The world commission on the social dimension of globalization 's report published in 2004
titled , " A fair Globalization relating opportunities for all " . The commission presents a strong
case for reform and details specific measures at international, national and local level.

21
Globalization has been advocating for united government role . It favors much extensive role
of the NGOS for total development of the back word communities . This new trend may prove
disastrous for this geo-politically very sensitive and isolated region . Good governance will be
the engine for development in a liberalized economy . The two elements of honesty and
transparency are needed to ensure government for development. Information Technology ( IT
) has revolutionary changes in every walk of life . It ha accelerated the pace of globalization
use of internet and computers for different purposes is increasing rapidly . The government
formulate the policies and implements them through their administration machinery. The
Electronic media of communication and computers has increased the process of administration
. E-Govemance involves computerization of service to the provided to the citizens . E-
governance is computerization of government documents , records and various reports . In the
process of globalization information has become power the quality of administration.
Manmohan Singh accept the challenge and decided to act breaking away . he decided abolished
Licensing system , simplified procedures rationalized Tax structure, encouraged foreign
investment and several crucial sector open for the private sector to compete .

The modem civil service has to acquire multiple roles :

1. Proactive policy formulator , ready with possible strategies to meet the

unknown.

2. Social change agent, ready to accept new ideas .

3. Dynamics programme manager , able to shape new courses and adopt on going arrangement.

4. Political campaigner , responsive to public and champion of public causes.

5. Competent administrator ensuring effective performance with minimum political


embarrassment.

6. Public relations expert.

7. Speedy decision maker , prepared to assume responsibility and clear instructions. Good
governance has concurrently came to be seen at two plans - one is operational level two is the
institutional plane . In tenth plan ( 2002-07 ) , governance especially , transparency and making
interface with government. IT to the process of government functioning in order to bring about
better governance which has been termed as SMART - Simple , Moral, Accountable ,
Responsive and Transparent) . Several policy developments in the past year are significant in
the context of the economic assessment presented above .

These can be broadly grouped into developments in fiscal policy and monetary purposes is
increasing rapidly . The government formulate the policies and implements them through their
administration machinery.
