On the basis of recommendations of earlier reports on Civil Service Reforms, the Government has decided to introduce Performance Appraisal Report in respect of IAS officers and mandatory mid-career training of IAS officers.
The following reports in the area of civil service reforms are before the Government:

The second Administrative Reforms Commission being set up will be requested to take into account the existing material and reports available on the subject and consider building upon the same. The second ARC will be required to submit its reports to the Government within one year from the date of its constitution.
