State Public Service Commissions (PSCs) are constitutional and independent authorities and they are mandated to function as the ‘watchdog of merit system’, Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan has said.
Participating as chief guest at the inaugural session of the Standing Committee of Chairpersons of State Public Service Commissions held in Visakhapatnam, virtually from the Raj Bhavan here on Friday, the Governor said that PSCs played a pivotal role in appointment of meticulous and versatile persons to public services in the government and they should not be influenced and bow to any pressures.
