Organization History
The Kerala Public Service Commission (KPSC) was established on the same day the state of Kerala was formed. Initially, its headquarters were located in Pattom, and it operated in four districts. Over time, the PSC expanded its operations to all 14 districts, coinciding with the formation of Kasaragod district in May 1984.
As a constitutional body, the KPSC initially adhered to the principle of having a unified organization for all employees. Consequently, the KPSC Staff Association was formed, symbolized by a blue flag. In 1973, employees with Marxist sympathies established the KPSC Employees Union. However, it took 14 years for the union to receive government recognition. Later, smaller organizations emerged, categorized by roles such as Last Grade Employees, Typists, Confidential Assistants, and Officers. Over time, the Staff Association became predominantly an association for Assistants and Officers.
