In the post-independence scenario, the emphasis is on the role of an individual as a citizen of the world. This in turn mean, confers a very complex role on bureaucracy in the milieu of international unification and globalization. This ideal obliges new responsibilities on Indian Civil Services and creates inevitability of introspection regarding my own participation in rendering services to common man.

It is unequivocally the first major step towards a new better world, I am forced to contemplate the span of this new area of services to humanity as a civil servant and at the same time , I admit that the reverberations of vibrant interrogation about the new heights, that I wish to scale as a civil servant, echo incessantly within the fore walls of my thinking self. The duties I perform sets a new process of interrogations about the functionality of a civil servant in the complex socio-politico-economic matrix.

It is a recurrent reverberation, if I really benefit a common man, who needs me the most, by performing my duties . It is also a perpectual anxiety , if the common man is benefited the maximum, or, what I do is a mere compromise with seemingly hostile forces pervading within and outside the system. But, regardless of the magnitude of hostile forces operating against the much speculated ideals of Mahatma Gandhi, I think …., I analyse….. and I arrive at an ideal, I have to implement, a duty, I have to perform and arrival at this point means to me nothing less than the fulfillment of a dream , the attainment of a goal, it is however immaterial how many persons I meet on my way to success, and how they react to my endeavors and what make beliefs they knit around me. It is equally immaterial that the track I tread on is smooth and pleasant or rough and thorny. Such things do not make concern but the idea which consumes my intellect and spirit is that the task , I have undertaken, has to be accomplished with honesty and promptitude. And it is my humble prayer to the Almighty that the journey, punctuated by fulfillment of dreams and objectives has to go on without gaps and gasps until my last days in the office. It is my fervent wish , it is my aim.

It has always been my sincere effort to apply the tools and technique that invite simplicity and trnsparancy. It has always been my ardent wish that the plans and programs sponsored by the government are translated into perceptible reality, in such a way that every constituent section of the society to which I , as a Civil Servant , owe my responsibility is equally, justly and genuinely benefited. It is according to me, the most challenging responsibility of a Civil Servant, that the common man should be made to feel that the government and administrative authorities have nothing but favors for him. I, in the light of my experience as a Civil Servant, reiterate that the success of a Civil Servant seeks measurement in welfare, he affords for the common man and in convincing him of the favours sponsored by the government. And , I , repeat that the success of a Civil Servant is mirrored in mirth and frolic of a common man, who is the most worthy recipient of the benefits credited to the plans and programs and welfare schemes of the government. Again I candidly assert that the images of mirth and frolic and contentment and faith have always been the most proud achievements during my long and turbulent voyage and it will remain so forever. For deciphering pleasure on the face of the poorest of the poor has always been the rewarding moment for me as a proud member of this community of Civil Servants and pleasure that makes the natural corollary of reading a breathing book has been the greatest asset.
