Services Day When? • The Civil Services Day is celebrated on April 21 What? • The day celebrates all the civil servants who dedicate their lives to the cause of citizen. The day aims at renewing their commitments to public service and excellence in work. • To mark the Civil Services Day, the country rewards the Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Administration to various officers to celebrate their work, for implementation of Priority programme and innovation categories. Why? • Its origin is related to the year 1947 when on 21st April Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, first Home Minister of independent India inaugurated the All India Services. • While addressing the probationary officers at the All India Administrative Service Training School at Metcalfe House, Delhi (it currently houses offices of many divisions of DRDO) he delivered a powerful speech and empowered the Civil Servants to adopt the true role of national service leaving behind the past experience. In his speech he referred to civil servants as the 'steel frame of India’. 2. Indian Civil Services Cornwallis’ Role (Governor-General, 1786-93) • Cornwallis was the first to bring into existence and organise the civil services. He tried to check corruption through— ✓raising the civil servants’ salary ✓strict enforcement of rules against private trade ✓Debarring civil servants from taking presents, bribes etc. ✓enforcing promotions through seniority • Wellesley’s Role (Governor-General, 1798-1805) ✓In 1800, Wellesley set up the Fort William College for training of new recruits. ✓In 1806 Wellesley’s college was disapproved by the Court of Directors and instead the East India College was set up at Haileybury in England to impart two years’ training to the recruits. ✓The Charter Act of 1793 had reserved all posts worth 500 pounds per annum for the covenanted servants of the Company. ✓The Indians, however, were barred from high posts from the very beginning. The reasons for exclusion of Indians were • the belief that only the English could establish administrative services serving British interests; • the belief that the Indians were incapable, untrustworthy and insensitive to the British interests; www.sleepyclasses.com Available on App Store Call 6280133177 and Play Store 2 T.me/SleepyClasses • The fact there was high competition among the Europeans themselves for lucrative posts, so why offer them to the Indians. • The Charter Act of 1833 theoretically threw open the services to the Indians, the relevant provisions were never really implemented. Charter Act of 1853 • The 1853 Charter Act ended the Company’s patronage, enjoining recruitment to be through an open competition henceforth. • After 1857, when the Indians claimed a share in higher services, the Proclamation of 1858 declared the British intention of including the Indians, freely and impartially, in offices under the civil service. Indian Civil Service Act, 1861 • This Act reserved certain offices for convenanted civil servants but the examination was held in England in English language, based on classical learning of Greek and Latin.
