The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has stepped into its centenary year with a renewed spirit of progress and pride. On Wednesday, UPSC Chairman Dr. Ajay Kumar unveiled the new UPSC logo and the official centenary emblem during a special event in New Delhi. To mark this milestone, a unique anecdote portal titled “My UPSC Interview: From Dream to Reality” was also launched, allowing aspirants and achievers to share their personal journeys with the Commission.
Established on October 1, 1926, under the Government of India Act, 1919, and the recommendations of the Lee Commission, UPSC has been the pillar of India’s merit-based civil services for nearly a century. With the centenary celebrations beginning on October 1, 2025, the Commission aims to reaffirm its rich heritage while preparing to address new challenges in governance and recruitment.
Speaking at the launch, Dr. Ajay Kumar shared a forward-looking vision for UPSC, describing the centenary year as both a celebration of its past achievements and a springboard for future reforms. He emphasized that the Commission will strengthen its engagement with aspirants through innovative initiatives, ensuring UPSC continues to stand as a beacon of integrity, transparency, and nation-building.
