New Delhi: President Pratibha Patil will inaugurate the Foundation Day lecture on Governance and Public Service here today.

The lecture has been organised by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). This lecture series aims at providing a forum for raising issues of contemporary relevance to governance and public administration.

Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Prithviraj Chavan will preside over the function.

The founding fathers of the Indian Republic envisaged an important role for the UPSC as the bedrock in the vital machinery of governance. The responsibility for recruiting the finest talent for manning the civil services and protecting their just interests so that they may act impartially and fearlessly are some of the tasks given to the Commission under the Constitution.

UPSC is also responsible for advising the Government on related matters of service that actually cover personnel policy and human resource management.
