Indian Civil Services

The Indian Civil Services (ICS), now known as the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), are a prestigious group of government officials responsible for implementing policies and managing administrative affairs across India. Recruited through a competitive examination, these officers hold key positions in districts, states, and central ministries. They oversee public administration, development programs, law and order, and service delivery, ensuring government decisions are effectively carried out. The ICS plays a vital role in maintaining governance, implementing reforms, and serving citizens, making it a crucial pillar of India's administrative framework.
