Overview of Civil Service System in India
The Civil Service system in India has a rich history dating back to 1854 when the concept of a Permanent Civil Service based on merit through competitive examinations was introduced. It encompasses features such as open-entry based on competitive exams, elaborate training, tenured positions at various levels, and a system of promotions based on seniority and performance. The services are grouped into All India Services, Central Civil Services, and State Civil Services. Training policies guided by the National Training Policy focus on competency building. The Civil Services operate on a competency framework emphasizing accountability, transparency, ethics, and efficiency, among other values.
