'IAS Week' celebrations rescheduled

Wednesday, 30 November 2016 | PNS | Lucknow

UP IAS association has re-scheduled the proposed ‘IAS Week’ celebrations by a fortnight. Earlier scheduled to be held from December 1 to 4, the function has been posted to December 15 to 18.

The ‘babus’ are keen to hold IAS week before the dates for Assembly polls are announced by Election Commission any day after December 15. Hence they have unanimously agreed on the same. The decision has surprised many in the bureaucracy as the annual event is being held for the second time in the year with the last one being organised on March 18-20. 

The ‘2017 IAS Week’ was slated to be held in January-February, but due to elections the event was advanced to be held in December.

UP IAS Association secretary Ashish Goel said that committees have also been set up for holding different cultural programmes. The Governor and the Chief Minister have given their consent for their participation.  Since there are possibilities of IPS Week being held after the IAS Week, this time there would be no cricket match between the IAS XI and the CM XI and a match between IAS XI and IPS XI is likely.

The IAS Week is an annual event organised by the UP IAS association. The event was discontinued for five years during the previous regime of Mayawati from 2007 to 2012.  It was in 2013 that Akhilesh Yadav revived the event.
