With the increased tcmpo of recruitment, especially for the technical services as a result of the Five Year Plans, and the changing pattern it administration of a growing welfare State calling for larger manpower requirenmnts. the Comiaission have been cost ton with many new problems. These developments would require more frequent consultations beoveen the Union and the Stare Public Sentiee Commissions for into of views and pooling of experience. Vte relations of the Commissions with their Governments alw came up for consideration as it is very necessaryto to LIIIIILI in cimlitlence in the proper functioning of the Commissions_ While the statutory position of a Cormnission has to he onlously safeguarded, it is equally necessary to build up relations of mutual moist and Ilan:ugly 750 that healthy conventions and Mitt Wong may develop which would, in course 41 time, acquire a force stratum than that of sta- tutory safeguards. It was 5enerally an reed that ordinarily. there sh t mkt be no difficulty in developing such relations without, in any way. impairing the Jtututory obligation o I the Commissions m advise died Governments in a spirit of absolute fairness arid impartiality. EXTENSION OF EuNc noNs OF THE COMMISSION ne functions of the Commission are defined in Article 320 or the Constitution. The l'osiclent is empowered under the proviso to clause (3i of this Article to make regulations specifyina the matters in which either generally or in any particular class of Goo or in :my pat dollar circumstan- ces, it shall not be necessary for the Contmission to be consulted. After the Constitution came into force. the President has not passed any Regula- tion to limit the functions of the Commission The limitations hid (low under the reaulalions framed under the Government. of Indio Act. 1935. continue to operate in the absence of any regulations under the new Con- stituCion. There have. however_ been the following e einsions of the itt ne- lions or the Commission in the year under report by Aoh. of Parliament under Article 321 of the Constitution:— tot 'rho Delhi Municipal Corporation Act. 1957. provides for the exercise of certain functions by the Union Public Service Commission as respects the Services of the Corporoion.

DI tircT RECRUITMENT A. By Examination- written test and personalily inlerfiew. 6. This method of direct recruitment applies to all the imponant Orga- nised services Durinc the year ander report. the Conirni Stlion held 19 examinaticins for recruitment of perhons to various civil Fervices and con- tinued to cooperate with the Defence Ministry by holdine written exami- nations for recruitment to sot' IC of the Defence Services. The number of candidates who applied for admission to these ex:affiliations was 56,956. Particulars of these examinations are given in Appendix Ill. The follow- ing general observations are periinentr— (I) B will be seen From the statement that the number of tamdf- dates competing at the examinations is becoming dispro- portionately high cornpared with We number of posts avail- able for appointment.

Apart From the difficulty of CI nd inp accommodation for NO many candidates. there iv the serious difficulty oE find in an adequate 'Lumber of suitable examiners and enism- ing uniformity of standard The Commission base for one reason or another been reluctant to restrict the existing qualificaiions and narrow down the field of selection. In spite of the rush of applicants. so far as the Joint Services Wing examinations are concerned, it has been C5111 rid incray- singly difficult to secure the requisite number of suitable candidates A very large number of those who qualify in the written test do not pass the test conducted by the Servi- ces Selection board of the Defence Service.. 01 those who succeed in this test. many fail in the physical endurance and other (161'1pptory rests to which they are subjected. In I he case of the Navy, allhouch the number of vacancies each year is very small. the nunaver who qualify finally is aunerally even smaller. The Commission hope that candidates as well as their parents would themselves weigh carefully the pros- pee ts of success and not fritter away their money and ener- gies in the vain pursuit of rw,nspeting for services for which the candidates fire not adequately prepared. 4 Notwithstandine the deterrent penalties meted out to the defaulters, cases of can attempting to seek admission by production of fake doeumenls, partieularly false age certificates and of attempting 10 pass the written test by unfair means. continued to recur in appreciable nuntbers (vide Appendix ly), Many of these candidates are below the aee of 21 and possibly the real culprits are their parents or advisers who fail to realise that by doing so they are ruining the careers of these unfortunate young persons. •the Commission, however, cannot overlook defaults 0[ the type mentioned above which involve 01 oral turpitude as these examinations lire condiuted with a view- to reccuit persons who possess not only the requisite ability but also high integrity and ch II hi etc r which are so very.

The Indian Civil Service and Indian Foreign Policy, 1923–1961. Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge, 2021. xvi + 314 pp. $160.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-138-06424-9. Reviewed by Sumit Ganguly (Indiana University) Published on H-Asia (June, 2021) Commissioned by Sumit Guha (The University of Texas at Austin) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=56532 There has long been a voluminous literature on India’s postindependence foreign policy. However, at least three recent developments have significantly leavened the scholarship on the subject. First, within the past decade, the Government of India has declassified significant numbers of documents pertaining to foreign policy decision-making and have placed them in the National Archives in New Delhi. Second, as a consequence, a number of able, young, and enterprising scholars have made deft use of these newly accessible documents. Their work has led to some reinterpretation of key events and turning points and have also provided more granular accounts of foreign policy decision-making at critical junctures. Finally, there has also been an effort on the part of a number of younger scholars to go beyond descriptive accounts of Indian decision-making. To that end, they have applied theoretical concepts and frameworks to the study of Indian foreign policy. These forays have started an incipient process of bringing the study of Indian foreign policy into the mainstream of foreign policy analysis. Owing to these three advances, the study of Indian foreign policy is undergoing a significant renewal.

  • The Indian Civil Service and Indian Foreign Policy, 1923–1961
    THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE AND INDIAN FOREIGN POLICY, 1923–1961 Amit Das Gupta First published 2021 ISBN: 978-1-138-06424-9 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-003-11884-8 (ebk) 1 INTRODUCTION (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) 1 INTRODUCTION Jawaharlal Nehru left a strong imprint on global affairs. Charismatic, handsome and a brilliant orator and writer, he led the largest decolonised country, setting examples with state-driven industrialisation and efforts to establish a new style in foreign affairs. He gave those a face and a voice who, until the end of the Second World War, had been denied looking after their own affairs and having a say in international politics. As Nehru was a towering figure at home and abroad, the years between 1947 and 1964 are rightfully termed the Nehruvian era. Accordingly, books on Indian foreign policy mostly start with the assumption that Nehru was its main or even sole architect. It appears to be self-evident that a country’s first prime min- ister would set everything on the right track, all the more so as Nehru was considered a foreign affairs expert even before India attained independence. Nevertheless, foreign policy never is a one-man show. Apart from Nehru’s main advisor, V. K. Krishna Menon, ministers like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel or G. B. Pant exercised a certain influence. At least equally important was the support and the counsel of officers of India’s Foreign Service (IFS), who ena- bled Nehru to pursue his goals in the international arena. The vast majority of them were neither mere tools to implement decisions nor men or women of Nehru’s making.
