Committed to make civil services more identifiable: MoS PMO

The results of civil services examination has reflected that commoners can dream of joining the coveted civil services, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said today.
He also congratulated top three rank holders--Tina Dabi, Athar Aamir Ul Shafi Khan and Jasmeet Singh Sandhu--of the 2015 civil services examination.
"The three toppers represent the hitherto lesser represented sections of society in civil services, which is an indication that the IAS and civil services have finally moved away from being 'elite services' as they were generally described earlier.
"The government is committed to make civil services more and more identifiable with the aspirations of the common man," Singh told PTI.

With Tina hailing from weaker section of society, Athar hailing from Jammu and Kashmir and Jasmeet belonging to minority community, he said, the top brass of future civil services servants will truly represent the aspirations of the average common man of this country.
"This will also go a long way in achieving Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to provide citizen centric governance through civil servants who actually represent the common citizen of India," said Singh, Minister of State in Prime Minister's Office.
The results of the civil services examinations were declared today.
