Patna,(BiharTimes): The chairman of the Union Public Service Commission, D P Agrawal, said on Monday that the agencies tasked by the Constitution to deal with recruitment and management of public services should be kept independent of the political executive. |
Addressing the 15th national conference of chairpersons of the state Public Service Commissions he said the autonomy is basically required to ensure equality of opportunity and treatment of all citizens and to guard the institutions against the evil effects of nepotism or favouritism.
The UPSC chairman said it might be because fo this precise concern that the framers of the Constitution had bestowed constitutional status upon the PSCs with a view to insulating them from all types of external pressure in discharge of duty in fair and unbiased fashion.
He said that had been asked to revamp the recruitment process with the help of information technology.
