At present, a very big and shocking name is in the center of discussion among the youth of Bihar administrative department and the youth who are preparing for the civil services examinations across the country. Taking a big step to make the administrative system more strong, transparent and dynamic, the Bihar government has handed over the important responsibility of the post of Chairman of Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) to senior IAS officer Harjot Kaur Bamhrah. After Harjot Kaur Bamhra, known for her very strict administrative style, excellent efficiency and long administrative experience, got this new command, there has been a stir in the political and academic circles. With the reins of BPSC, which is considered to be the most prestigious and major recruitment body of the state, coming into the hands of an experienced and strict woman officer, it is expected that in the coming days, the cleanliness, transparency and timeliness of the examinations will get a new dimension, which will make the future of lakhs of candidates more secure.
Harjot Kaur Bamhra is a very bright and senior officer of 1992 batch of Indian Administrative Service (IAS), who originally belongs to Bihar cadre. He has completed his higher education from prestigious institutions of the country, including higher degrees like M.Phil in International Relations and Post Graduate Diploma in International Law from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). During his administrative career spanning over three decades, he has served in many of the most important and sensitive departments of the Government of Bihar. She has successfully worked on key positions like Additional Chief Secretary in Environment, Forest and Climate Change Department, Managing Director of Mahila Vikas Nigam, Mines and Geology Department, and Social Welfare Department. As an officer who does not tolerate any kind of negligence in her working style, she has always been recognized in administrative circles as a strict and fair officer.
Harjot Kaur Bamhra, known for her tough attitude and outspoken style, had come into the national headlines for her famous statement during a public program some time back, in which she had given a sharp reaction to a student’s question. After that incident, a long debate broke out on his working style from social media to mainstream media, after which this matter gained prominence even at the government level. However, despite all these controversies and discussions, his administrative abilities, ability to dispose of files quickly and his strict commitment to rules never got affected. Giving priority to his administrative abilities and corruption-free image, the government has taken this big and strategic decision of handing over him the command of BPSC, the largest constitutional and selection body of the state.
Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has been in the news for the last few years due to continuous examination paper leaks, delay in results, student agitations and various technical glitches, due to which the credibility of the commission has also taken a hit. In such a situation, the biggest and first challenge before Harjot Kaur Bamhra will be to bring complete transparency in the functioning of the Commission and keep the calendar of examinations absolutely correct so that students do not have to wait long for the results. For some time now, BPSC has made many major and modern reforms in its examination system, which include online application to conducting examinations under strict security standards. With Harjot Kaur Bamhra taking charge of BPSC as an experienced and strict administrative officer, it is expected that she will implement all these reforms more strongly and will be successful in completely curbing the network of examination mafia.
For lakhs of bright youth of Bihar and across the country who prepare day and night for civil services and other administrative examinations, the fairness of BPSC is the biggest issue. When an officer is known for his honesty and tough temper, the trust of students automatically increases in that institution. After the appointment of Harjot Kaur Bamhra to this post, a positive message has been sent among the student organizations and the candidates that now the evaluation process and selection list will be prepared completely on the basis of merit. This change can prove to be a milestone in the times to come in terms of giving a new direction to the administrative system of Bihar and giving educated youth the status of their rights, on which everyone is keeping a close eye.
