The job of a bureaucrat is never easy. They toil hard, day and night, to protect their people and develop their districts. Their effort to bring light into people’s lives and guide them on the righteous path is never-ending. And for that, we praise and salute them.
From starting a widely known and appreciated movement called ‘Lets Inspirer Bihar’ to giving a facelift to rural Purnea; from dreaming about civil services to working with several Prime Ministers and other powerful people in the Indian Government, today we feature our top stories of the month which would not only inspire you but also influence you to become one of these officers one day.
