Colonial Administrative Service

The Colonial Administrative Service was the administrative arm of a colonial government, composed of trained officials responsible for managing and overseeing the governance of colonies. Members of this service handled tasks such as implementing policies, maintaining law and order, collecting taxes, and coordinating development projects. Their role was to ensure the smooth functioning of colonial rule, often acting as a bridge between the colonial government in the home country and the local population. This service was crucial in establishing and maintaining colonial authority, and members were typically selected through competitive examinations and trained to serve in varying administrative capacities within the colony.
