Question

how did lord cornwallis organise the indian civil service

Answer 1

Civil services in India are a legacy of the British rule. The post of District Magistrate (also called District Collector) was first created in 1772 and this happened under Warren Hastings who was then the newly appointed Governor of Bengal. The idea was to remove Indians from revenue administration and make the British the sole controller of the resources. Revenue collection was the main task of the district collector. He also used to maintain law and order in order to collect the revenue peacefully. Later on, the civil services were reformed and modernised by Lord Cornwallis and hence he is called the “Father of Indian Civil Service”. Cornwallis realised that in order to consolidate the British rule in India, it was very important to organise the civil services. It has to be noted here that the collectors in this period were British and Indians were completely excluded because the British wanted an administration based on British ideas and practices; the ability and integrity of Indians were not trusted. Later on over a period of many years, there were various reformations in the structure of the civil services and finally Indians were appointed to the coveted services.
