Central Superior Services Of Pakistan
Central Superior Services of [COLOR=#000000]Pakistan[/COLOR] (commonly known as CSS) is the name given to a group of highly prestigious and powerful Pakistani Federal Government Departments. Recruitment to the officer’s cadre (Basic Pay Scale 17) of these services is extremely competitive and it usually takes a year to complete the written examination and the subsequent psychological tests as well as interviews. Federal Public Service Commission of Pakistan or FPSC ([COLOR=#000000]http://www.fpsc.gov.pk/[/COLOR]) is entrusted with this task and it is a general perception that it conducts the task of Competitive Examinations with full honesty. The minimum age and educational qualification for appearance in this examination is 21 years and a Bachelors (14 years of education) respectively while the maximum age limit is 28 years.
According to the estimates of FPSC a total of 8,000 – 10,000 candidates apply for an appearance in its annual Competitive Examination. On an average 5,000 – 6,000 actually appear and approximately 250-500 candidates qualify the written portion of CSS Examination. Out of these successful candidates a total of 100-150 (roughly 2% of the actual applicants) make it to this sacred corps of bureaucrats. Currently CSS includes the following Occupational Groups.[LIST][*]Pakistan Audit and Accounts Service[*]Police Service of Pakistan (PSP)[*]District Management Group (DMG)[*]Income Tax Group (ITG)[*]Customs and Excise Group (CEG)[*]Foreign Service of Pakistan (FSP)[*]Postal Group (PG)[*]Commerce & Trade Group (CTG)[*]Railways Group (RG)[*]Information Group (IG)[/LIST][CENTER][B][U] History of Civil Services in Pakistan[/U][/B] [/CENTER] Civil Bureaucracy is a colonial legacy in this part of the world. British used to rule the native population through [COLOR=#000000]Indian Civil Service[/COLOR] ([COLOR=#000000]ICS[/COLOR]) and most of the officers in ICS were British themselves. It was in the early 20th Century that the Indians also started competing against the British and many Indians eventually made it to the ICS. With the partition of [COLOR=#000000]India[/COLOR] in [COLOR=#000000]1947[/COLOR], the term 'Central Superior Services' was used in Pakistan and the concept of All-Pakistan Services continued. The latter consisted of the Civil Service of Pakistan and the Police Service of Pakistan, whereas the Central Services included the Pakistan Foreign Service and a broad category of Finance and other services. The Finance category included the Pakistan Audit and Accounts Service, Pakistan Railway Accounts Service, Pakistan Military Accounts Service, Pakistan Taxation Service, and the Pakistan Customs and Excise Service. The Central Services other than these included the Pakistan Postal Service, Pakistan Military Land and Cantonment Service, Central Secretariat Service, and Central Information Service. Each of these services had its own cadre and composition rules, specifying the total cadre strength in terms of its number of positions. With the Civil Services Reforms of [COLOR=#000000]1973[/COLOR] a new system of Common Training Program or CTP was introduced and all of these occupational groups (12 at that time) were required to go through a mandatory combined training at Civil Services Academy (CSA), Lahore. The batch of officers who attended CSA in 1973 is recognized as “1st Common”. Up till 5th Common the allocation of occupational groups was done after the culmination of Common Training Program but from 6th Common onwards this task has also been assumed by FPSC. Even till this day it is an official procedure that once the Probationary Officers successfully complete their CTP then they undergo some further Specialized Training Program (STP) in their own professional academies. [CENTER][B][U]Armed Forces and Civil Services of Pakistan[/U][/B] [/CENTER] Commissioned officers of [COLOR=#000000]Pakistan Army[/COLOR], [COLOR=#000000]Pakistan Air Force[/COLOR], and [COLOR=#000000]Pakistan Navy[/COLOR] have their own quota of 10% in District Management Group (DMG), Foreign Service of Pakistan (FSP), and Police Service of Pakistan (PSP).

Airlines of Pakistan
[I][FONT=Verdana]The [COLOR=windowtext]Pakistani[/COLOR] aviation market[/FONT][/I][FONT=Verdana] has seen many airlines come and go. However, due largely to the economic sanctions placed on Pakistan during the 1990s the industry growth eventually leveled off due to the increase in oil prices.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]The Pakistan aviation industry was started up when Orient Airways merged with Pakistan International Airlines Corporation (PIAC) to become the national flag carrier of Pakistan called [COLOR=black]Pakistan International Airlines[/COLOR] or PIA for short. PIA remained the only operator for many years after its creation, but soon private airlines arrived at the scene to compete with the national flag carrier.

Within two months of Orient Airways' operational beginnings, Pakistan was born. The birth of a new nation generated one of the largest transfers of population in the history of Mankind. Orient Airways, along with the help of some BOAC aircraft which had been chartered by the Government of [COLOR=black]Pakistan[/COLOR], started relief operations and transportation of the population between [COLOR=black]Delhi[/COLOR] and [COLOR=black]Karachi[/COLOR], the two capitals. Later, Orient Airways transferred its base to [COLOR=black]Pakistan[/COLOR] and established the vital, link between [COLOR=black]Karachi[/COLOR] and [COLOR=black]Dacca[/COLOR], the two capitals of the two wings of [COLOR=black]Pakistan[/COLOR]. With a skeleton fleet of just two DC-3s, three crew and twelve mechanics, Orient Airways launched its scheduled operations in a fairy-tale fashion. The initial routes were [COLOR=black]Karachi[/COLOR]-[COLOR=black]Lahore[/COLOR]-[COLOR=black]Peshawar[/COLOR], [COLOR=black]Karachi[/COLOR]-[COLOR=black]Quetta[/COLOR]-[COLOR=black]Lahore[/COLOR] and [COLOR=black]Karachi[/COLOR]-[COLOR=black]Delhi[/COLOR]- [COLOR=black]Calcutta[/COLOR]-[COLOR=black]Dacca[/COLOR]. By the end of 1949, Orient Airways had acquired 10 DC-3s and 3 Convair 240s which it operated on these routes. In 1950, it had become increasingly apparent that additional capacity would have to be inducted in order to cater to the growing needs of the sub-continent. Orient Airways was a privately owned company, with limited capital and resources. It could not be expected to grow and expand on its own. It was then that the Government of [COLOR=black]Pakistan[/COLOR] decided to form a state-owned airline and invited Orient Airways to merge with it. The outcome of the merger was the birth of a new airline, named [COLOR=black]Pakistan International Airlines[/COLOR] (PIA) on 11 March, 1955.[/FONT][LIST][*][U][FONT=Verdana][B][COLOR=black]Pak-Air[/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/U][/LIST][LIST][*][U][FONT=Verdana][B][COLOR=black]Raji Airlines[/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/U][/LIST][LIST][*][U][FONT=Verdana][B][COLOR=black]Super Airways[/COLOR][/B][/FONT][/U][/LIST] |
