Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla (File photo) NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Wednesday hailed the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), which is celebrating its centenary, as “one of the most important institutions in India’s democratic and administrative framework that has, in its hundred-year journey, embodied transparency, impartiality, confidentiality, and accountability”.Birla, while delivering the keynote address at UPSC’s two-day ‘Shatabdi Sammelan’ here, lauded the institution’s ability to adapt to changing times, citing the reforms in examination systems, promotion methods, and digital adoption as examples of its progressive spirit.Highlighting the inclusive nature of UPSC’s processes, the Speaker said, “Candidates from every region, language, and socio-economic background participate in this examination with complete faith in its fairness. That trust is the greatest testimony to UPSC’s credibility.”Junior minister for personnel Jitendra Singh, ‘guest of honour’ at the event, also hailed UPSC as the “guardian of India’s steel frame of governance”, saying it has stood tall as a pillar of integrity, fairness and transparency through the country’s pre and post-Independence era.Speaking in the presence of UPSC chairman Ajay Kumar, Singh recalled Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s description of the civil services as the “steel frame of India” and said, “it is the UPSC that has lived up to the responsibility of being the guardian of this steel frame.”Applauding UPSC’s continuous evolution, Singh drew attention to several recent initiatives that reflect the commission’s forward-looking approach. He especially commended UPSC’s ‘Pratibha Setu’ portal, which seeks to create new opportunities for candidates who have cleared all the Civil Services Examination stages but did not make it to final list of recommended candidates, by connecting them with private sector and institutional openings. He termed the move “an innovative bridge between talent and opportunity”.Singh emphasised UPSC’s larger role beyond recruitment, which covers framing and updating service rules, reviewing administrative practices, and setting ethical standards for public service. “The architects of Viksit Bharat @2047 will emerge from this very institution that has trained generations of India’s finest civil servants,” he remarked.About the AuthorBharti JainBharti Jain is senior editor with The Times of India, New Delhi.

Calls For A Change Of Mindset President Murmu, V P Radhakrishnan and PM Modi read the Preamble during Constitution Day celebrations at Samvidhan Sadan Wednesday NEW DELHi: President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday said women representation in judiciary, legislature and executive continues to be low despite Parliament amending the Constitution to enact Women’s Reservation Act in 2023 to reserve one-third of seats for women in Lok Sabha and state assemblies.”Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam is a historic step towards empowering women and a homage to all women who took part in the Constituent Assembly to frame the Constitution. But we continue to lag in giving women adequate representation in judiciary, legislature and executive,” Murmu said at the Constitution Day celebrations organised by Supreme Court, which has only one woman among 33 judges.Speaking in the presence of CJI Surya Kant and law minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, the President said taking steps to give adequate representation to women in all three wings of governance will require a change of mindset. It was SCBA president Vikas Singh who mentioned extremely low representation of women in judiciary – 13% in HCs and 35% in trial courts.She said annual commemoration of the Constitution’s adoption on Nov 26, 1949, is often marked by speeches made by dignitaries. “Have we ever looked back and assessed in the last 75 years how much we have progressed in achieving the constitutional goals of justice, equality, liberty and fraternity for every citizen? If not, can we do it in the next 24 years when we will be celebrating the centenary of the adoption of the Constitution? That is the question, not only for the judiciary, legislature or executive, but for everyone.”Addressing another Constitution Day event in Central Hall of old Parliament building or Samvidhan Sadan, Murmu described the Constitution as the bedrock of “our national pride and national identity”, and as a guiding text for taking India forward with a “nationalist mindset by abandoning the colonial mindset”.In front of an audience that included Vice-President C P Radhakrishnan, PM Narendra Modi, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, opposition leaders of Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, respectively, and members of both Houses of Parliament, Murmu cited implementation of legislations related to the criminal justice system as an example of the effort to shun the colonial mindset. Murmu also said that by repealing the provisions of Article 370, an obstacle that had been hindering the country’s inclusive political integration was removed.At the function in SC, Murmu praised CJI’s renewed focus on mediation and termed it a big step to reduce litigation. CJI Kant said when it comes to justice delivery system, there is still a disquieting gap between constitutional vision and the experience of many, especially the marginalised section of population for whom the access to justice remains elusive because of exorbitant cost of litigation, language of courts, distance and delay. Promising to improve the justice delivery system on all these fronts, the CJI said, “The time is also ripe for us to reinforce predictability in our judicial approach.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos“Being Examined”: MEA On Dhaka’S Request To Extradite Sheikh Hasina”There Was No Fear on His Face”: Survivor Recounts Trauma of Mumbai 26/11 AttacksPakistan On Edge As Imran Khan’s Sisters Assaulted At Jail And Social Media Fuels Death Speculation’Spur Of The Moment’: Former CJI Gavai Reacts To Shoe-Attack Attempt, Reveals Why He Took No Action’No Amount of Denial’ Will Change Arunachal’s Status: India’s BOLD Response To China Over Border Row’No Moral Standing’: India Slams Pakistan’s Rant On Ayodhya Event, Calls Out Bigotry And RepressionKhawaja Asif Admits Pakistan Can’t Trust Taliban As Deadly Border Strikes Trigger New FlashpointFormer CJI B.R.
