Who was the First Chairman of Haryana Public Service Commission?

A state Public Service Commission's "first Chairman" is the person appointed to head the commission when it is constituted — typically notified by the Governor under Article 316 of the Constitution as soon as the new commission is formed.

The Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) came into existence on 1 November 1966, the day Haryana was carved out of the composite Punjab state. HPSC's own roll of officials records that its founding appointment as Acting Chairman took effect from 2 November 1966, confirmed as full Chairman from 12 December 1966.

• Dalbir Singh — shares its name with India's former Chief of the Army Staff (2014–2016), General Dalbir Singh Suhag; not the name recorded in HPSC's own roll of officials for that founding appointment.

• Darbari Lal Gupta — is the name recorded in HPSC's own roll of officials for that founding appointment.

• Bhim Singh — shares its name with the founder of the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party; not the name recorded in HPSC's own roll of officials for that founding appointment.

• Manoj Pandey — shares its name with Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey, the 1999 Kargil War Param Vir Chakra awardee; not the name recorded in HPSC's own roll of officials for that founding appointment.

Darbari Lal Gupta, therefore, was the Haryana Public Service Commission's first Chairman, appointed at its founding in 1966.
