The FPSC instituted this Quarterly

Newsletter to reflect a capsule of its activities and functions in fulfillment of its mandate. The prime responsibility of the Federal Public Service Commission is to carry out recruitments in the Federal Government in a fair, objective and transparent manner. This Newsletter helps to promote and realize those objectives.

The current focus of the Commission is not only to maintain its distinction of conducting the recruitment process in a transparent and fair manner, but to establish

the supremacy of merit and integrity in all recruitments. These objectives are like a mission for us and we consider these our guiding principle which, if pursued sincerely and earnestly, will carry our nation out of the woods. By recognizing “merit and excellence” we are doing a service to the nation.

I would like to encourage distinguished members of our society to guide us with their suggestions and opinions.

Retirements/Left the Commission

After completing their three years tenure Syed Asif Shah and Mr. Suhail Safdar, relinquished the charge of office of Member FPSC on 8th January and 25th January 2012 respectively. The Commission enthusiastically appreciates their substantive inputs and commendable services rendered in the public interest for recruitment of quality human resource for public service.

Meeting of Inter Provincial Public Service Commissions held at Karachi 11th meeting of Inter Public Service Commissions was held on 11th February, 2012 at Karachi. The meeting was hosted by Sindh Public Service Commission and presided over by Former Justice Rana Bhagwandas, Chairman Federal Public Service Commission. Syed Irshad Ali Shah, Chairman Sindh Public Service Commission during his welcome address hoped that meeting will provide an occasion to discuss and deliberate issues being experienced by Public Service Commissions. Major General (Rtd) Ovais Mushtaq Qureshi, Member, FPSC informed the meeting that during detailed scrutiny of applications of candidates of Competitive Examination, it has been observed from documents of many candidates that their permanent addresses given in the application forms are different from their district of domicile. It creates confusion and the Commission has to write letters to the concerned Domicile issuing authority to verify its authenticity and genuineness. This process takes time, causing delay in the

recruitment process. He suggested to evolve a mechanism to overcome this situation. After threadbare discussion on the issue, a Committee headed by Maj. Gen (R) Ovais Mushtaq Qureshi, Member FPSC with following Member was constituted:- i. Mr. Muhammad Pervez Rathore, Member,

PPSC, ii. Syed Anwar Haider, Member, SPSC, iii. Mr. Atta-ur-Rehman Lodhi, Member, KPK
