UPSC Marks Century: A Journey from Advisory Panel to Constitutional Authority

For a century, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has been pivotal in shaping India's civil services. Established in 1926 as an advisory panel, it evolved into a constitutional body by 1949, a transformation underscored by Dr. Rajendra Prasad's emphasis on its independence for impartial public appointments. However, as the UPSC commemorates this milestone, citizens must ask: Is the commission living up to its foundational promise of fairness and integrity in public service? What measures are in place to ensure accountability and transparency in its operations? As reported by NDTV, the ongoing journey of the UPSC raises critical questions about its effectiveness in upholding the rights of ordinary citizens in accessing government positions.
