Civil Services of India
In India, the Civil Service is the collection of civil servants of the government who constitute the permanent executive branch of the country. This includes career officials in the All India Services, the Central Civil Services, and various State Civil Services.
The civil service forms the basis of Government without which there is no administration. They act as the main channel to articulate people's needs and implement government policies on the ground. They provide the necessary inputs, identify policy areas, analyse various alternatives, offer multiple solutions to societal issues and give robust advice to the ministers, policy makers and legislators.
As of 2010, there were 6.4 million government employees in India in all levels (Group A to D) within the central and state governments. The services with the most personnel are with the Central Secretariat Service and Indian Revenue Service (IT and C&CE).
Civil servants in a personal capacity are paid from the Civil List. Article 311 of the Constitution of India protects civil servants from politically motivated or vindictive action. Senior civil servants may be called to account by the Parliament. The civil service system in India is rank-based and does not follow the tenets of the position-based civil services.
If a responsible government is to be established in India, there will be a far greater need than is even dreamt of at present for persons to take part in public affairs in the legislative assemblies and elsewhere and for this reason the more Indians we can employ in the public service the better. Moreover, it would lessen the burden of Imperial responsibilities if a body of capable Indian administrators could be produced.
— Regarding the importance of Indianising Civil Services, Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms
The present civil services of India are mainly based on the pattern of the former Indian Civil Service of British India.
During the British Raj], Warren Hastings laid the foundation of civil service and Charles Cornwallis reformed, modernised, and rationalised it. Hence, He is known as 'the Father of civil service in India'.
