The committee that recommended the establishment of the UPSC was the Aitchison Commission in 1924. The commission aimed to overhaul the civil services structure in India, advocating for a systematic approach to recruitment and training. Its recommendations laid the groundwork for establishing the Union Public Service Commission, which would conduct examinations and oversee appointments for civil services across the country. The formation of the UPSC represented a significant shift towards a more organized and meritocratic system of governance, ensuring that civil servants were selected based on qualifications and competence, rather than political connections or favoritism.
