Vice Chancellor
It gives me immense pleasure that you have taken the decision to pursue civil services as a career and joined our MIT ADT School of Indian Civil Services.
The All-India Civil Services and other State Public Service Commissions have fueled dreams among several generations of Indians. Indian bureaucracy and its senior bureaucrats have commanded respect and awe both within the country and abroad.
The government in a democracy like India is predominantly run by the high calibered bureaucrats, who form the core of its delivery mechanism & policy making. They belong to various civil services like IAS, IFS, IPS, IRS and among others and occupy senior-most positions as Secretaries, Director-Generals, Commissioners, Heads of the Departments, Members and Chairpersons of Ministries, Departments, PSUs, Corporations, Committees and Commissions of States and the Central Government.
In the face of the changing global economic scenario, the nature of civil services too has undergone fundamental change. The processes of globalization and its resultant liberalization, privatization and other economic reforms have an impact on policies relating to governance, administration, international relations, trade and other issues of national importance. Administration in India itself has undergone a paradigm shift – from being control and regulation-oriented to development and facilitation-oriented; from being state-friendly, it has become public-friendly.
