Derived from the [[Covenant]]s of good behaviour that an employee was obliged to sign, a '''Covenanted Civil Servant''' became a member of the cadre of men who administered the government of India.
Most of those who served in the first half of the nineteenth century were trained and educated at [[Haileybury College]].
In contrast, an [[Uncovenanted Civil Servant]] was often recruited to work in the more junior positions of the Civil Service.
