The Indian Information Service (IIS) is the central civil service under Group A and Group B of the Central Civil Services of the executive branch of the Government of India.

Indian Information Service officers are the media managers of the Government of India. They act as a vital communication link between the Government and the people by disseminating information and communicating various Government policies and schemes to the public at large, and by collecting and providing valuable feedback to the Government for policy formulation.

Most IIS officers work in various media units under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting such as DD News, All India Radio, Press Information Bureau, DAVP and others. During their tenure in the Press Information Bureau, they are posted with various Ministries as spokespersons to handle the Ministry’s information and communication needs and to support policy formulation.
