NEW DELHI: Union Minister, Dr Jitendra Singhon Tuesday interacted with and felicitated the first 20 All India Toppers of IAS / Civil Services Exam 2022, who called on him at the DoPT headquarters at North Block here.
Among the first 20 IAS/Civil Services toppers invited by Dr Jitendra Singh said, first four toppers and 60 percent out of top 20 happen to be women and this is a great reflection of demographic change happening in the last 9 nine years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Government, where India is moving from women participation to women leadership.
He recalled that last year also the top three toppers were women and hoped that hat-trick will be made in 2023 Civil Services Examination.
Dr Jitendra also underlined that this year out of top 20, there are only 8 engineers and one medico, while the rest are from humanities.
He welcomed this change describing it democratisation of services through optimum use of technology.
In his welcome address to the top-20 rankers and their family members, Dr Jitendra described the 2022 batch of Civil Servants as the “Batch of Change Leaders”, as they will be in key positions of Governance, when India will celebrate 100 years of Independence after 25 years as one of the frontline countries of the world.
Dr Jitendra also informed the officers that there is a huge and positive change in curricula in LBSNAA in tune with modern times, and apart from Mission Karmayogi and Mission Prarambh, young probationers will have a 3-month stint of mentorship at the Central government before getting the respective State or Union Territory to join the allocated cadre.
On the occasion, Dr Jitendra Singh also released the IAS Civil list 2023. The publication of e-book IAS Civil list 2023 has enabled the Department of Personnel & Training to do away with the traditional way of printing of voluminous IAS Civil list. This e-book IAS Civil List 2023, contains photographs as well the following information of the IAS officers of all the State Cadres.
