In this episode, Dr. Vikas Divyakirti takes a deep dive into the history of UPSC reforms and the various committees that have shaped its recruitment and selection processes over the years. From the 1976 Kothari Committee to the latest B.S. Baswan Committee in 2015, which evaluated significant issues like age limits, attempts, and the optional subject debate, Dr. Vikas explores the implications of these changes on aspirants, especially those from rural and Hindi medium backgrounds.

He discusses how committee recommendations have impacted students from different regions, with a focus on the challenges faced by Hindi medium candidates in a system that has often favored English medium and mathematics-focused students. He also raises concerns about potential unintended consequences of proposed reforms, such as the reduction of attempts and the age limit, especially for students from rural areas who often graduate later and face longer delays in their academic journeys.

Dr. Vikas sheds light on the socioeconomic disparities that persist in the education system, offering valuable insights into the need for a more inclusive and fair approach to UPSC reforms. Tune in to gain a nuanced understanding of how these changes could reshape the future of UPSC aspirants.
