Question

what is an IAS officer

Answer 1

An IAS officer is the administrative head of a district.

Answer 2

The Indian Administrative Service , often abbreviated to as IAS, is an administrative All-India service. It is considered to be one of the two premier civil services of India, because a candidate, once appointed to the IAS, is rendered ineligible to reappear in the Civil Services Examination. IAS officers serve in strategic and key positions in the Union Government, States governments and public-sector undertakings.Like in other countries following the Westminster system of government, IAS as the permanent bureaucracy in India is an inseparable part of the executive of the Government of India,and hence, provides neutrality and continuity to the administration.
