Out of the 64 selected, a notable number are women, reflecting the commission’s emphasis on gender parity in public service roles. The CDPO positions are crucial for implementing government schemes like Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), which address nutrition, health, and early education for children in rural and urban areas.
