ISLAMABAD: A total of 1,090 inductions were made by the Federal Public Service Commission (FPSC) in the Central Superior Services during the past five years, out of which 410 were women.

This is 40 percent of total inductions in civil services, which has increased significantly if compared to women inductions three decades ago. It was below three percent at that time.

As most of civil servants reach up to Grade-20 and 21 by the time they retire, in the coming years, more women will be seen as ambassadors, secretaries and in superior offices of police and other civil services of Pakistan.

The past five-year record reflects Punjab, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir have managed to utilise all women seats in the Pakistan Civil Services, while Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remained consistent in under-utilising women’s seats in the Civil Services.

In Pakistan’s Administrative Services, 197 inductions were made, out of which 63 were women, shows the data available with The News. In Sindh, 123 seats for women remained unallocated in the past five years.
