New Delhi, 23rd June: Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh on Monday launched the IAS e-Civil List 2026, highlighting the role of technology-driven databases in improving governance, talent identification and effective administrative planning.
Launched at Kartavya Bhawan, the digital Civil List provides comprehensive information on IAS officers, including their batch, cadre, present posting, educational qualifications, pay level and date of superannuation.
Dr Singh said the e-Civil List has evolved from a simple directory into a dynamic governance tool that enables governments and institutions to identify officers based on expertise, experience and professional background for better policy implementation.
