Explanation:

Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Headed various Committees of the Constituent Assembly of India, namely:

Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights.
Committee on Minorities and Tribal and Excluded Areas.
Provincial Constitution Committee.
He is known as the “Iron Man of India” for playing an important role in unification and integration of Indian princely states into the Indian federation and for convincing princely states to align with the Indian Union.
He is remembered as the ‘Patron Saint of India’s Civil Servants’ as he established the modern all-India services system.

Charles Cornwallis: During the British raj, Warren Hastings laid the foundation of civil service and Charles Cornwallis reformed, modernised, and rationalised it. Hence, Charles Cornwallis is known as 'the Father of civil service in India'.

Note: Lord Warren Hastings established the Indian Civil Service(ICS) in 1858 and his successor Lord Cornwallis modernized it and enhanced its strength considerably. After Indian Independence in 1947, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel created the All India Services which he described as the country’s "Steel Frame". Hence, Sardar Patel is regarded as Father of the All India Services.
