An IPS Officer Whose Most Potent Weapon Is His Pen!

IPS officer Suraj Singh Parihar strongly believes in the power of self-belief to become an achiever in life.

ADC to Governor of Chhattisgarh, Mr. Suraj Singh Parihar believes in following his passion along with his profession, and balances both finely. His mantra is: “Love what you do and do what you love.”

The 2015-batch IPS officer regularly posts his literary pieces and verses on social media to connect to the public and bridge the gap.“Try to change lives of people in a positive manner and always stand for others whenever needed,” he says.

In an exclusive interview to Indian Masterminds, Mr. Parihar speaks at length about his views on public participation in development of the society we live in. He also speaks about the importance of being dedicated towards one’s goals, especially in the context of the youth.

He also has a message for the UPSC aspirants to help them stay dedicated and positive by believing in themselves and the path they have chosen.
