A division of government that began in 1858 was started by the British Empire. It was a very small administrative section of government. Within the office, there were elected officers that competed to be included. These officers supervised and controlled the region and the lower ranks. The lower ranks were clerks and provincial staff that did individual smaller tasks that made up the inner workings of the government. The ICS officers headed the entire operation. They were in charge of every district and oversaw every other small government and were the main leaders of British India. The division was dismissed along with the British rule in India in 1947. After Mr. Grant finished school he entered the Indian Civil Service.
