District Management Group or DMG, is an elite cadre of the Civil Service of Pakistan.
Officers in this group are recruited through a competitive examination held once a year by the Federal Public Service Commission of Pakistan. Those selected for this group have to undergo a two-year training programme at the Civil Services Academy (CSA) in Lahore, Pakistan.
The Indian Civil Service (ICS)—also known once as Imperial Civil Service, predecessor of the Civil Service of Pakistan and District Management Group—was established by the British to bolster the British Raj. After Indian independence, the ICS component ceded to Pakistan was renamed the Pakistan Administrative Service. Later it was named the Civil Service of Pakistan. In 1954, an agreement was reached between the Governor General of Pakistan and the governors of the provinces to constitute an All-Pakistan service. Under administrative reforms of 1973, the name of Civil Service of Pakistan was changed to All-Pakistan Unified Group (APUG) of which the DMG and Police Service of Pakistan are now major components.
Appointments of DMG Officers
After completing initial training and probation at the CSA, officers are posted in field offices throughout Pakistan on BPS 17 Grade appointments. Their first appointment is typically as Assistant Commissioner of a sub-division. They will simultaneously be charged with the responsibilities of Assistant Collector (Revenue) and Sub-Divisional Magistrate. Subsequently as they progress in their careers, DMG Officers are placed on a variety of field, staff, secretarial and instructional appointments. The BPS grades are enumerated (in order of increasing responsibility) as:
Grade | Appointment | Remarks |
---|---|---|
BPS-17 |
| Field appointment of AC combines roles of Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM) and Assistant Collector (Land Revenue) In the post Devolution scenario, the AC post has been abolished and replaced with that of DDO(R) in Punjab and Sindh and by ACO in KPK, however, Punjab, KPK, Balochistan has restored the office of AC/SDM. In Many instances DMG officers are posted one step higher as Deputy Secretary and as DO(R) in their Own Pay and Scale. |

| Field appointment of DC combines roles of District Magistrate (DM) and Collector (Land Revenue) In some departments, DMG officers are appointed on one step higher appointments like Additional Secretary.(in their own pay and scale). |
BPS-19 |
| Sometimes BS 19 officers are appointed as Provincial Secretary i.e. one step higher. |

| Commissioners of Divisions were previously under Members of Board of Revenue but now they are directly responsible to the Chief Secretary of respective Province. |

The brevity and elucidation of each grade and echelon along with a shadow of its responsibilites is quite formidable.
