2023-04-21 06:53:40 National Civil Service Day
Every year on 21 April 'National Civil Services Day' is organized in India.
It is celebrated as a token of appreciation to all the officials engaged in various public departments of the country, who work tirelessly to run the administrative machinery of India.
The day also serves as a reminder for the civil servants working in various departments to above all serve the citizens of the country.
The first Civil Services Day in India was organized on April 21, 2006 at Vigyan Bhavan.
On April 21, 1947, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel addressed the first batch of civil servants in independent India at Metcalf House. It is known that in his motivational speech, he called civil servants the 'Steel Frame of India'.
On the same day in the national capital, civil servants are also awarded by the Prime Minister of India for their excellence.
After the end of the East India Company, in 1886, the name of the CSS was changed to the Imperial Civil Service and it was under the British Crown.
Later, in the same year, it was announced by the Aitchison Commission that Indians should also be employed in public services. Thus, the Imperial Civil Service was renamed the Indian Civil Service.
For the first time in the history of India, the Indian Civil Services Examination was conducted in the year 1922.
On October 1, 1926, the Public Service Commission of India was established under the chairmanship of Sir Ross Barker.
In the year 1924, the name of All India Services was changed to Central Superior Services.
Since the availability of Europeans decreased after 1939, the number of Indians in the service increased.
After the year 1947, the Indian Civil Service became the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). Satyendranath Tagore was the first person to become an IAS officer in India.
The National Civil Services Day of the year 2023 is being organized at Vigyan Bhawan, New Delhi.
Four identified priority programs are also covered during this event.
Four identified priority programs – Promotion of clean water (Swach Jal) through Har Ghar Jal Yojana, Promotion of Healthy India (Swastha Bharat) through Health and Wellness Centers, Promotion of quality education with equitable and inclusive classroom environment through Samagra Shiksha, Holistic Development through Aspirational Districts Program – will be awarded for exemplary work done in holistic progress with special focus on saturation approach.

2023-04-19 07:20:59 Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England.
Charles Darwin's early education took place in a Christian missionary school.
In 1825, at the age of sixteen, he was admitted to the Medical University of Edinburgh.
After Edinburgh University, Darwin was admitted to Christ College in 1827 AD so that he could complete further medical studies.
He considered his voyage around the world on the Beagle to be the most important event in his life, which ensured his career.
Due to his publications about sea-travel and famous scientists who used his samples, he got the opportunity to get admission in the Scientific Society of London.
Early in his career, Darwin spent eight years studying barnacles (specifically swans), including fossils of the species.
He presented the first definitive taxonomic study of barnacles in pairs of two volumes in 1851 AD and 1854 AD.
Charles Darwin studied many plant and animal species for 20 years after the voyage of HMS Beagle and in 1858 AD gave the 'theory of evolution' to the world.
He propounded his theory of Natural Selection in 1859 AD in his book 'Origin of New Species by Natural Selection'.
'Darwinism' is the most famous in the world in the principles of biological evolution.
Charles Darwin was of the opinion that nature develops itself through gradual change.
This theory called evolution became the foundation of modern biology.
Charles Darwin died at the age of 72 on April 19, 1882 at Down House, England. ओपन / कमेंट
