RPSC is a well-known name for lakhs of youth preparing for government jobs in Rajasthan. Today, Rajasthan Public Service Commission is the most prominent recruitment organization of the state, which provides recruitment to many important posts ranging from Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) to teachers, engineers and many others. But do you know when RPSC was established and how it started? If not then let us know…
Actually, Rajasthan Public Service Commission was established on 22 December 1949. However, its story starts even before the formation of Rajasthan. In the year 1923, the Lee Commission had recommended the creation of a Central Public Service Commission in India. At that time, not much attention was paid to creating separate Public Service Commissions in the provinces. Therefore, the states had to manage the recruitment and administration of government employees at their own level.
When Rajasthan was formed, a new state was formed by merging 22 princely states. At that time, a system like Public Service Commission existed only in the princely states of Jaipur, Jodhpur and Bikaner. There were different systems of recruitment in the remaining princely states.

When was it established?
After the integration of Rajasthan, the need for a uniform recruitment system for the entire state was felt. Keeping this in mind, the Rajasthan Public Service Commission Ordinance was published in the Rajasthan Gazette on 20 August 1949. After this, on 22 December 1949, the notification regarding the establishment of the Commission was issued and from this day Rajasthan Public Service Commission officially came into existence.
With the formation of the Commission, institutions like Public Service Commission running in various princely states were abolished. The new commission was entrusted with the responsibility of recruitment, selection and other administrative work for government services in the state.
What in the beginning?
Initially the Commission had only a Chairman and two members. The then Chief Justice of Rajasthan High Court, Sir S. Of. Ghosh was appointed the first chairman of the commission. Later Devi Shankar Tiwari and N. R. Chandorkar was made a member. After this, former member of Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) S. C. Tripathi was also appointed chairman of the commission.
