UP and Bihar India's top two IAS churners
Uttar Pradesh may still be reigning supreme as far as recruitment to the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) is concerned, but Bihar has emerged a not- so-surprising second, leaving civil services nurseries such as Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh far behind.
The latest personnel ministry figures for 4,443 IAS officers show that while 671 (15 per cent) of them are domiciled in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar contributes 419 (9.4 per cent) officers to the service.
Most of these bureaucrats are working outside their home states, and that is expected under the recruitment rules of the IAS, an all- India service.
Although the figures include names of state service officers promoted to the IAS towards the end of their tenure, the data convincingly shows that bureaucracy continues to be a major draw for the youth from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The total number of IAS officers in the country is more than 5,500.
Tamil Nadu ranks third with 290 officers, 129 less than Bihar, while Andhra Pradesh occupies the fourth slot with 269, followed by Delhi ( 233), Rajasthan (233), Punjab (228), Maharashtra (222), Haryana (158) and Madhya Pradesh (152).
" While Uttar Pradesh has always been on top, the swell in numbers from Bihar is mainly because of the absence of other career options in the state. In the underdeveloped Bihar, government service has always enjoyed a premium," a senior IAS officer from Bihar said.
" Bureaucracy, just as other top- notch competitive exams such as IIT- JEE, is an easy and legitimate way to gain social mobility and recognition in Bihar, a state which still carries remnants of its feudal past. Tamil Nadu has seen a rapid expansion of the private sector while youth in businessoriented Gujarat prefer nongovernment options quite early in their life," he added.
The observation is not off the mark because only 76 IAS officers are domiciled in a state such as Gujarat while ' tiny' Kerala has contributed By Ashish Sinha in New Delhi UP and India's top IAS churners 143 bureaucrats to the pack and the Left Front- ruled West Bengal accounts for only 117.
The Bengal youth used to opt for civil services in good numbers before Independence and the years immediately after, but the numbers have diminished over the years.
Besides the Hindi heartland, the sheen of the civil services has grown in other north Indian states as well. The number of IAS officers domiciled in agrarian states of Punjab and Haryana is 228 and 158. While a relatively larger Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh account for only 150 and 152 officers respectively.
Delhi is another interesting case. The number of IAS officers domiciled in the national capital is an impressive 233.
" This is expected because parents of a large number of aspiring civil servants are based in Delhi. Most of them are already in government service. Delhi also happens to be the education hub of the north," an official posted with the Union Public Service Commission said.
Experts say that 27 per cent reservation for the other backward classes ( OBCs), which was implemented in the early 1990s, has also made a qualitative difference to the recruitment trend. For instance, the number of OBC entrants to the civil services has been going up in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
The benefit of reservation for the scheduled tribes ( STs) is more remarkable in Rajasthan, which has seen a good number of Meenas joining the IAS. Candidates from the North- East have also made good use of the ST quota. Manipur, Meghalaya and Nagaland have contributed more than 20 officers.

A great moment for me and my family, says Ira Singhal (1st Rank-IAS)
Ms. Singhal had in the year 2010 also cleared civil services examination but was not able to get a posting because of her disability.
Story of Civil Services exam topper Ira Singhal, who hails from Delhi, is truly an inspiring one. The 31-year-old woman who topped the exam in her fourth attempt has become the first physically challenged woman to top the civil services exam in the general category.
Ms. Singhal had in the year 2010 also cleared civil services examination but was not able to get a posting because of her disability. She suffers from Scoliosis, a spine-related disorder, which disrupts her arm movement.
After being unable to get a posting the first time, she fought and won her case in the Central Administrative Service and was finally given a posting in December 2014.
“This is a great moment for me and my family. I think after this people will respect women more and specially disabled women,” Ms. Singhal said.
After not being able to get posting in the year 2010, she gave the test twice afterwards because she wanted to improve her rank. This is her fourth attempt in which she has topped the examination.
The Delhi girl is currently posted as Assistant Commissioner in the Customs & Excise department of the Indian Revenue Services, but will likely move to an IAS posting soon.
Ms. Singhal has earlier worked as a Spanish teacher for a year, as well as a manager in Cadbury India, and a marketing intern in beverage giant The Coca Cola Company.
She holds an MBA in Marketing from Delhi University's Faculty of Management Studies (FMS), and a BE in Computer Engineering from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT).

कभी हार ना मानने का जज़्बा है इरा की सफलता का राज़ (IRA SINGHAL- 1st Rank)
यूपीएससी परीक्षा के नतीजो में शुरूआती चार सीटों पर लड़कियों ने कब्ज़ा किया है. लेकिन इन चारों में भी सबसे ज़्यादा चर्चा है इरा सिंघल की जिन्होंने देश में पहली पोजीशन हासिल की है.
वैसे तो इरा को इससे पहले साल 2010 में भी यूपीएससी परीक्षा में कामयाबी मिली थी लेकिन उस दौरान उनका रैंक 813 था. लेकिन कामयाबी मिलने के बाद भी उनको नियुक्ति नहीं मिली क्योंकी सामने आ गयी उनकी शारीरिक अक्षमता. विभाग ने ये कहते हुए उनकी नियुक्ति नहीं की कि उनके हाथ सामान्य लोगों की तुलना में कमज़ोर है.
लेकिन इरा मायूस नहीं हुई ना ही उन्होंने हार मानी. इरा ने सरकारी विभाग के इस फैसले को साल 2012 में कैट यानी की सेंट्रल एडमिनिस्ट्रेटिव ट्रिब्यूनल में चुनौती दी. मामले की सुनवाई करीब 2 साल चली और आखिरकार फरवरी 2014 में फैसला इरा के पक्ष में आया और ट्रिब्यूनल ने डीओपीटी को निर्देश दिया की वो इरा को आईआरएस यानी की इंडियन रेवेनुए सर्विस में नियुक्ति दे.
इरा ने इसके बाद आईआरएस यानी की इंडियन रेवेनुए सर्विस ज्वाइन की. लेकिन उनका हौसला और उड़ान यहीं नहीं रुकनी थी. एक बार फिर इरा ने यूपीएससी की तैयारी की और इस बार अपना नाम दर्ज़ करवा दिया इतिहास के सुनहरे अक्षरों में.
