Overview of the New UPSC Office
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), under the leadership of Dr. Ajay Kumar, inaugurated its new office in the Talkatora Annexe Building, New Delhi. This new facility aims to address the longstanding issue of office space constraints faced by the UPSC.
Historical Context
Established following the Lee Commission's recommendations, the UPSC has evolved significantly since its inception in 1926. It was reconstituted as the Union Public Service Commission post-Independence and has continually adapted to the requirements of civil services recruitment.
