About UPSC:
UPSC stands for Union Public Service Commission is central recruitment agency of India. It was established on 1 October 1926, and headquarter is in New Delhi, Shahjahan road. It was later reconstituted as Federal Public Service Commission by the Government of India Act, 1935. Now it is named as today’s Union Public Service Commission after the independence.
History:
The civil servants of the East India Company used to select by directors of the company, and after that, they get training in London, and back to India. The report of Lord Macaulay’s says that the criteria of the selection committee of British were merits based modern Civil Service in India was introduced in 1854. For the recruitment of candidate, Civil Service was established in 1854, and competitive exams were started in 1855. Initially, this examination was conducted for Indian Civil Service which was only held in Landon. To appear in the exam an age criterion was made, which were 18 years will be a minimum age and 23 years will be maximum age. The syllabus was designed on the European classic which was difficult for Indian people. In 1864, Shri Satyendranath Tagore brother of Shri Rabindranath Tagore was the first Indian who qualifies the exam.
The next 50 years, Indians conduct for simultaneous examinations to be held in India without any success because the British Government who did not want many Indians to qualify and enter into the ICS. From 1922 onwards, the Indian Civil Service Examination was begun to be held in India, first in Allahabad (U.P) and later in Delhi (Capital of India) with the setting up of the Federal Public Service Commission. This led to the establishment of the first Public Service Commission on 1 October 1926 under the chairmanship of Sir Ross Barker. For the selection of police for Indian, the first exam was held in England in June 1893, where top-10 candidates were appointed as Assistant Superintendents of Police. After 1920, the exam also started in India. Till 1931, Indians candidate were appointed against 20% of the total posts of Superintendents of Police. However, because of non-availability of the desired European candidates, more Indians candidate was elected to the Indian Police from the year 1939 onwards.
Regarding Forest Service, British India Government started the Forest Department in 1864 and to organize the affairs of the Forest Department, and Forest Service was constituted in 1867. The selected candidate gets their training in Germany and France after training they send back to Indi. After independence, the Indian Forest Service was created in 1966 under All India Service Act 1951.
The functions of the Public Service Commission were not explained in the Government of India Act, 1919, but the 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. The Government of India Act, 1935, further envisaged a Public Service Commission for the Federation and a Provincial Public Service Commission for each group of Provinces. Therefore, regarding 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. So, with the beginning of the Constitution of India 26 January 1959, the Federal Public Service Commission is known as Union Public Service Commission.
