The average candidate who wants to take the river service exam only has knowledge of services like IAS, IPS, IFS or IRS but apart from this various services provide career prospects about which there is a lack of sufficient knowledge. So today we discuss how careers are in other cadres.

Passing the civil service also gives an opportunity to become a Class 1 officer in Indian Railways. Due to the usefulness of Railways in the country and having a large number of employees, it is very popular in Railways in terms of salaries, allowances and facilities. I have seen the indomitable enthusiasm of the youth to join the smallest recruitment by the Railway Board! So if you pass UPSC and join the top cadre of railways, then there is no need to ask about career. Appointment in three different cadres in railways is done through this examination.

The most important service is 'Indian Railway Traffic Service'. It can be considered as the backbone of the railway. The entire management of freight and passenger traffic in the railways is handled by this service. It is the responsibility of the staff of this cadre to bring the best results using the entire resources of the railways. It provides an opportunity to reach out to the Chairman of the Railway Board. The position of Chairman of the Railway Board is extremely important. The Railway Board is chaired by the Railway Administration throughout the country. This is the board after the Railway Minister.

The bureaucracy of India is headed by a 'Cabinet Secretary'. The Chairman of the Railway Board is considered equivalent to the 'Cabinet Secretary' of the Government of India. Railways are then classified into different zones. The Zonal Manager in each zone and then the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) in the division mostly come from this cadre. Officers of this cadre are dominant in the railways! If they have to go anywhere in the country, in some cases they are allotted a separate saloon (coach) train. Apart from this, 'Indian Railway Account Service' and 'Indian Railway Personnel Service' are also considered to be the most valuable services of the railways.

There are also many civilian services associated with the Indian Army through the UPSC Civil Service Examination. Most people are not familiar with the name 'Indian Defense Estate Service'! Hence its importance is not soon realized. But this service is the best service for the administration of military cantonments. He manages 12.5 lakh acres of land under the Ministry of Defense. In addition, they are working to develop army camps! In short, he is the 'Municipal Commissioner' of the military camps.

Another service under the Ministry of Defense is 'Indian Ordnance Factories Service'. Operates factories producing various weapons for the army in the country. And what weapons to import from abroad? The purchase of arms is decided by the officer of this cadre. Many weapons are produced in the country. The importance of this service is increasing as the production of arms in India is increasing under the 'Make in India' scheme and many top companies from all over the world are coming to India.

India is one of the top importers in the world when it comes to arms purchases from abroad. In these circumstances, there is an opportunity to go to many countries by staying in coordination with the Ministry of External Affairs. Due to his special experience and knowledge, he sometimes acts as an advisor to Union Ministers, even as an advisor to the Prime Minister or the President.

The Indian Army also has its own accounting service, the Indian Defense Accounts Service. He does the accounting work of the Indian Army. The service includes defense budgeting, cost control, and more.

The craze for media is growing among youngsters nowadays. Then very few candidates will be aware of Indian Information Service (IIS)! The service acts as a backbone for the country's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. These bureaucrats have the administration of Doordarshan, government media, publication of various books and information, magazines like Yojana and Kurukshetra, National Book Trust etc.

Thus, there is no shortage of opportunities for those who want to do something out of the clutter of a career. These services are waiting for the young swordsmen who want to do something for the country ...!
