Indian Civil Service

The Indian Civil Service (ICS) is a vital part of India's administrative framework, responsible for implementing government policies and running the country's administration at various levels. It includes various services like the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and Indian Foreign Service (IFS). The ICS officers are recruited through a competitive examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). They play key roles in governance, law enforcement, and diplomatic relations, ensuring effective public administration and development. Their work directly influences the lives of millions, making the ICS integral to India’s functioning democracy.
