Now, before we tell you ‘Why Aasaanjobs for all UPSC jobs?’, let’s just quickly understand the idea behind UPSC, how it became what it is today.
In 1923, The Royal Commission on the superior Civil Services in India under the chairmanship of Lord Lee of Fareham was set up by the British Government.
In 1924, this commission which was composed of equal number of members of both British and Indian origins presented a report suggesting the configuration of a Public Service Commission and proposed that 40% of future entrants must be British, 40% Indians who are directly recruited, and 20% Indians promoted from the provincial services.
This step resulted in the setting up of the preliminary Public Service Commission on October 1, 1926 with Sir Ross Barker at its helm as the chairman. According to Wikipedia and other sources, “a mere limited advisory function was granted to the Public Service Commission and the leaders of the freedom movement continually stressed on this aspect, which then resulted in the setting up of a Federal Public Service Commission under the Government of India Act 1935.”
Consequently, after India gained her freedom, the Federal Public Service Commission came to be known as the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). And on January 26, 1950 was presented with a constitutional status under the Constitution of India.
