The second phase from 1765 to 1798 was a period of parliamentary intervention without any definite political policy . It was a formative period where the personal contributions of Hastings and Comwallis were more significant than the effort of legal provisions , The third phase beginning with Wellesely's administration in 1798. Welleysley's administration marked the beginning of a new era. Wellesley's arrival ushered in a down of imperialism in all its various dimension .Until 1855 the administration posts were regarded as the property of the crown , and filled by a system of patronage under which appointments were largely determined by birth and connections and after the emergence of parties , by political affiliation. Commissions for civil servants ;- The Trevelyan - Northcote report appeared in 1854 and a Civil Service Commission was appointed the same year in accordance with the above report. A number of commission have subsequently to regulate the affairs of the civil service . In 1875 the Playfair Commission , 1886 Aitchison Commission , The Ridley Commission 1886-90 , The Ma c Donnell Commission 1912-14 , The Gladstone Committee 1918 , The Tomlinson Commission 1929 , & The Asheton Committee 1944 have appointed for civil services .The Provincial Civil Service was already in existence since 1892 . The Act of 1919 gave greater autonomy to the provinces in the matter . The provincial civil services came to be known by the name of their respective provinces . Indianization of Civil Services:- The British were formally committed to a process of Indianization of services within the framework of India as an integral part of the British empire. The timetable of Indianization was first suggested by the Islington Commission on the Public Services in India 1912-15 , which fixed the ratio of Indians in the superior civil services in the country . In 1919 , the Government armounced its decision on the Islington Report, and process of Indianization became operative . The Lee Commission on the Superior Civil Services in India 1924 which came next, raised the scale and recommended a 50:50 cadre to be produced in the ICS in about 15 years , all to be recruited directly . The Central Public Service Commission was setup in 1926 and Sir Rose Barker was chairman of this commission . The Government of India Act ,1935 came in knowledge .

    Working Paper Bureaucratic Indecision and Risk Aversion in India Sneha P., Neha Sinha, Ashwin Varghese, Avanti Durani and Ayush Patel. About Us IDFC Institute has been set up as a research-focused think/do tank to investigate the political, economic and spatial dimensions of India’s ongoing transition from a low-income, state-led country to a prosperous market-based economy. We provide in-depth, actionable research and recommendations that are grounded in a contextual understanding of the political economy of execution. Our work rests on two pillars — ‘Transitions’ and ‘State and the Citizen’. ‘Transitions’ addresses the three transitions that are vital to any developing country’s economic advancement: rural to urban, low to high productivity, and the move from the informal to formal sector. The second pillar seeks to redefine the relationship between state and citizen to one of equals, but also one that keeps the state accountable and in check. This includes improving the functioning and responsiveness of important formal institutions, including the police, the judicial system, property rights etc. Well-designed, well-governed institutions deliver public goods more effectively.

  • Download Caruna Report
    The Civil Services have risen to the summon of the Nation, echoed by the clarion call of the Hon’ble Prime Minister to build a silo-less culture of service. The creation of the unique collective-CARUNA, the Civil Services Associations Reach to Support in Natural Disasters is the embodiment of this new work culture, where transcending narrow service loyalties and surmounting a culture of seniority, this platform has evolved to be the first Flat Organization in recent civil service memory. The CARUNA Team representing 29 services of the Union of India is a befitting response to Sardar Patel’s advice when he said “you must cultivate an ‘esprit de corps’ without which a Service as such has little meaning”. The founder of modern civil services in India, Sardar Patel, invoked the spirit of sacrifice amongst civil servants by exhorting them … ‘not only will you be the administrators of areas allotted to you, but you will also be the servants of people’. The numerous activities of our CARUNA warriors, their help to citizens on ground, their assistance to colleagues battling the COVID-19 pandemic and their creative administrative solutions are a humble tribute at his great feet. The transformation of Civil Services into a virtuous weapon of high-minded devotion at this perilous hour, is a resolute rededication on the CIVIL SERVICES DAY, 21st April, 2020. We, the members of the Civil Services of India humbly place this document of service done during the past 21 days combatting the COVID-19 situation, at the altar of our true masters- the Citizens of India.
