About the organization:
Rajasthan Public Serce Commission has had a glorious past of nearly 50 years. During 1923, the Lee Commission had recommended setting up of a Central Public Service Commission in India, but it did not give much thought to the need of establishing similar commissions in provinces. It was left largely to the discretion of provincial Governments to recruit and exercise control over their Services, as they thought proper. At the time of formation of Rajasthan, the institution of Public Service Commission existed in only three of the twenty-two covenanting states viz. Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner. The successor administration after the merger of the princely states promulgated an ordinance on 16th August,1949 establishing the Rajasthan Public Service Commission Ajmer. It was published in Raj. Gazette at 20th August,1949 and it came into effect from this date. It provided for the abolition of the PSCs or other institution performing duties in the nature of those of a PSC in the constituent states. The ordinance also provided inter-alia, for the composition of the Commission, the staff and the functions of the Commission. Initially the composition of the Commission was one Chairman and 2 Members. Sir S.K.Ghosh (also the then Chief Justice of Rajasthan) was appointed Chairman. Subsequently Shri DeviShankar Tiwari and Shri N.R.Chandorkar were appointed Members and Shri S.C. Tripathi (I.E.S) formerly a member of the Federal PSC was appointed as Chairman. In the year 1951 in order to regulate the working of the Commission, the Rajpramukh issued the following Regulations under the provisions of the Constitution of India. The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Conditions of Service) Regulation,1951 and The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Limitation of Functions) Regulation,1951. In view of its important and impartial function, Public Service Commissions rightly find a place of pride in the Indian Constitution. Articles 16, 234, 315 to 323 deal with various functions and powers of the Public Service Commissions. The working of Rajasthan Public Service Commission is also regulated by Rajasthan Public Service Commission Rules & Regulation, 1963 , Rules framed by the Rajasthan Public Service Commission for conduct of their Business and the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Regulations and validation of Procedure ordinance 1975 & Act 1976). The focus of the Hand Book is to familiarize of various activities of R.P.S.C. and facilitate easy access to all information required to be published under Section 4 (1) (b) of the Right to Information Act. This Hand Book is expected to enhance and strengthen interaction between the Rajasthan Public Service Commission and information seeking citizens to fulfill the goals of transparency and accountability enshrined in the Right to Information Act, 2005.Aspirants for the posts in different cadres of State Administration, various other State Departments and personnel involved in State Administration.To carryout selection process for recruitment of eligible and competent candidates to various civil services and posts of the Rajasthan State in an efficient and transparent manner within the time schedule in accordance with the Recruitment Rules The State of Rajasthan was formed as a result of merger of the erstwhile, princely States situated in Rajputana and Part ’C’ State of Ajmer-Merwara. At the time of formation of Rajasthan, the institution of Public Service Commission existed in only threeof the twenty-two convenanting States, viz. Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner. The successor administration, after the merger of the princely States, promulgated on 16th August, 1949 an Ordinance establishing the Rajasthan Public Service Commission. It provided for the abolition of the Public Service Commissions or other Institutions performing duties in the nature of those of a Public Service Commission in the constituent States. The Ordinance also provided, inter-alia, for the composition of the Commission and the staff and the functions of the Commission. The staff of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission, as it stood at the time of the establishment, continued as its nucleus. In the year 1951, in order to regulate the working of the Commission, the Rajpramukh issued the following Regulations under the provisions of the Constitution of India : (i) The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Conditions of Service) Regulations, 1951, and (ii) The Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Limitation of Functions) Regulations, 1951 By the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (Conditions of Service) Regulations, 1951, the office of the Commission was brought at par with the Secretariat of Rajasthan. The office procedure followed by the Commission was on the lines of the working of the Secretariat. Immediately after the establishment of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission, an experienced retired Superintendent of the then Federal Public Service Commission was employed in this office as Office Superintendent in April, 1950. He established the office procedure on the pattern of the Federal Public Service Commission. This office followed the same traditions with variations from time to time, as required. Despite this, the Commission constantly felt the need of having a Manual for efficient and speedy disposal of its office work. It was therefore, decided in 1980 to take up the work of preparation of an Office Manual. The draft Office Manual was approved by the Commission in the month of August, 1980 and the office was put in motion accordingly on experimental basis. Other Public Service Commissions also showed considerable interest in the Office Manual prepared by the RPSC. A final shape was given after studying the existing procedures of working of the State Secretariat and other Public Service Commissions. Suitable changes are made when and where necessary and the revised Manual was published in January, 1987., Feb. 2001 and recently it has been published in January 2009.
