PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION , WEST BENGAL

Right to Information Act,2005
4(1)(b)(i) The particulars of its organization,function and duties:The origin and evolution of Public Service Commission in India can be traced back to the democratic
demands raised by the Indians and consequence thereof. As far back as 1856 educated Indians raised
the demand for admission into the Indian Civil Service, and the Indian National Congress adopted a
resolution on its foundation in 1885 demanding holding of simultaneous examination for the I.C.S.
both in England and in India. Such demands were supplementary to the demands raised in the Indian
National Movement for self-government.
In the context of such demands the Lee Commission in 1924 also recommended its formation.
Then the Government set up the Central Public Service Commission in October,1926.
The Simon Commission in 1935 provided for setting up of a federal Public Service Commission
for the federation and a Public Service Commission for each province. In terms of the provisions of the
Govt. of India Act and with its coming into effect on 1st April, 1937 the Central Public Service
Commission became the Federal Public Service Commission, and a Public Service Commission
was set up in each province, except in cases of certain provinces which formed Joint Public Service
Commissions.
The provisions of the Government of India Act,1935 regarding Public Service Commission were
adopted almost in toto in the Constitution of India. This is the background of the emergence of the
Bengal Public Service Commission in April,1937 and its transformation as Public Service
Commission, West Bengal under the Constitution of India.
The fathers of the Indian Constitution realized that the democratic system could be maintained
only if the civil servants were appointed solely on the basis of merit , by open competition and only
then they could carry on the administration independently. The values of independence, impartiality
and integrity are the basic determinants of the constitutional conception of Public Service
Commission.
The Public Service Commission, West Bengal is proud of its glorious existence and is
pledged to discharge its constitutional obligations faithfully and efficiently in the days to come.
