Indian Civil Services Training Academy

In Mysore, the Indian Civil Services Training Academy (ICSTA) has opened its first regional study facility. The major goal of the academy is to pass the civil services exam and become qualified to work in group A central services like the Indian Foreign Service and the Indian administrative and police services, among other jobs. The founder, chairman, and managing director of this institute, Mr. Patel S. Ramesh Gowda, is a strong proponent of excellence and quality.

He has more than 20 years of extensive experience in the fields of education and sustainable agriculture. In particular, in the realm of education, his unyielding approach has earned him accolades throughout the state. His desire to provide the bureaucracy with honorable and committed employees led him to form ICSTA, an organization committed to providing education of the highest caliber. Former government officials Dr. A. Ravindra, Dr. M.R. Srinivasa-murthy, and Shri N. Parthasarathy, IFS (RETD), oversee the operation of the institution.
