Book's First Pagetalented Indian students to proceed to England for taking the ICS examination, while the latter provided for filling one-fifth of the vacancies in the ICS through nomination of young Indians of respectable families and sound education. The Aitchison Commission (1886) was appointed by Lord Dufferin ostensibly to find ways and means of admitting more Indians into higher services. But the commission, instead of doing that, proposed to reduce the ICS to an ‘elite corps’ by limiting its number to what was necessary to fill the chief administrative appointments and to transfer the remaining posts to a wholly Indian provincial serv-ice to be constituted in each of the provinces. Holding of the ICS examinations simultaneously in England and India was done for the first time in 1922. Appointment of the Lee Commission (1924) by Lord Reading and its recommendations of stopping recruitment to services which primarily concerned the subjects transferred to popular control, and acceleration of the pace of Indianisation in the other services. Establishment of the Public Service Commission at the Centre (1926) and the provincial ones later were the other significant developments.
