बहुत ही अच्छा पोडकास्ट था ...कई चीजों को समझने और सीखने का मौका मिला...अच्छे प्रश्न और सटीक/स्पष्ट जबाब..दोनों जनों को धन्यवाद

[AnkitG]

What a person with clarity with his every word. He literally has a dynamic thinking .Which we should learn and apply in our daily life.

[satyanathmanur]

So happy to listen to Mr. Anil Swarup. We had no occasion to hear an IAS officer of higher rank about their work culture, problems they face. Thank you Anil Sir. Now I have to search for your book and read it.

[chandrasekharsarmah]

Salute to Aniljee. So long one maintain honesty integrity and ready to serve the Nation in positive mindset he only can keep his head high in all situations. Politicians get control on officers who failed to maintain honesty and integrity in true values forgetting that thousands eyes are watching the officers 24x7 hours to find out his weaknesses in any direction.

[akshaylokhande]

मन को आकर्षित करनेवाला भाषण है अनिल सर का 👏🏻 बहुत ही सकारात्मक सोच 🙏
अच्छा लगा सुनकर 😊👍

[dr.g.kshirude]

This is called as commitment, transparency and ownership in respect of position, honesty and positivity. Salute to Anilji.

Anil Swaroop Sir is very honest, excellent orator & genius administrator. When he was giving his example as Secretary Horticulture in UP, my father used to be Director Horticulture then & my father being very honest, used to have very nice relation with him. Thanks for getting him in your podcast Raj.

[harshithagummaraju]

He is giving such a crisp and ground level reality based answer which is very useful for aspirants.Why are you interrupting him before the completion of answer😡

The way Anil Swarup Sir Ji spoke about public administration is quite impressive. I loved his "bold, frank, honest, to-the-point answering and positive mindset approach" attitude. Got to know a lot about the career of civil servants.

Unlike other civil officers, he was quite transparent about internal matters. This episode is enough to prove that "people corrupt power, not power corrupts people."

[mayurpatel]

It's good work to call IAS officer and share his view on government

[akshitaiyer]

Anil Swarup's willingness to share his knowledge and experiences is greatly appreciated. It's evident that he is passionate, and his expertise added immense value to the conversation. Great Podcast

[ritarose]

God bless and protect a very honest and upright IAS officer like Mr Anil Swarup.Thanks Raj for the informative podcast.

[VikasSingh-YT]

I was in a special purpose vehicle for smart city project in Muzaffarpur Bihar. There I had seen the working of 2 IAS officers from close. One municipal commissioner and other principal secretary of urban development Ministry. My high regards for IAS turned into hate and a belief that IAS officers are arrogant and visionless. But after listening to Anil Ji I am happy there were and there are matured visionary ethical smart and motivated officers also. A good IAS officer can really change the landscape of area under his responsibility. Like Mr. Pratyay Amrit, IAS officer being power and transport secretary really changed the conditions of roads and electricity for good in the state of Bihar.

[bharatsharma]

Respect to him
Those who gives fokat gyaan on social media
Learn from real hard working IAS officers and understand the ground reality
Great video

[satyalaxmi]

ईमानदारी का फल मीठा होता है बचपन मे पढ़ा सुना आज इनको सुनकर लगा सच है इन साहब को इतनी शोहरत मिली सच्चे होने के कारण ।

[djohntalks]

23:44 > In a democracy if an idea has to be implemented on the grassroot level, then it has to be: 
1. Politically Acceptable 
2. Socially Desirable
3. Technologically Feasible
4. Financially Viable 
5. Administratbily Do-able

6. Judicially Tenable ( able to be maintained or defended) against attack or objection - 
"such a simplistic approach is no longer tenable")

7. Emotionally Relatable
8. Environmentally Sustainable

[sahil_sharmaa_]

I have never seen an IAS officer so interesting, you cannot miss even a single minute of this podcast! He kept me so engaged with his talks!

[chandrashekharshekhat]

A very good talking session with our revered Ex IAS officer Mr Anil Saheb, he is an ideal for aspiring IAS officers for their career.
