SAMBHAV

Sambhav: Impossible is nothing

Behind me is an infinite power, before me is an endless possibility, around me is boundless opportunity. In a time of constant distrust building trust, doing what needs to be done than doing what one is capable of doing is all about roles leaders play. What it takes to be selected is the secret sauce that Civil Service Mentoring (CSM) initiative is all about. CSM initiative of IIPA management is all about discovering you, defining you, enhancing you and promoting brand YOU. It amplifies your ability to reach and access the best opportunities suited to YoU.

It is easier to plant a seed than a tree. In 75^th year of independence, IIPA seeks to start SAMBHAV Civil Service Mentoring initiative as CSR. CSM also targets at enhancing your performance in decision making process, dealing with co-workers, approaching citizens and customers and professional relationships, making the right choice in work specialisation. The CSM perspective is all about self-knowledge of your core strengths and ingenuity of your personality that will help you approach challenges of life in your own way. It makes you stay relevant to the ever changing needs of a dynamic market ecosystem to decide your role as a competitor or a person who complements the team.

All competitive examinations, including Civil Services Examination (CSE), conducted by UPSC and State Public Service Commissions and recruiting agencies test aspirants about their competencies and motivation levels to take up the challenging roles on offer. Knowledge, skill and attitude is in abundance in youth but only a few make it to the top. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel referred to civil servants as the 'steel frame of India' while addressing the probationers of Administrative Services in 1947 at Metcalf House, Delhi. Hon’ble PM Modi ji said on 28 October, 2017, ‘You are a member of service and not a mere job seeker’. Hon’ble PM also observed at Kevadia in 2019, ‘We need a bureaucracy that is creative and constructive, imaginative and innovative, proactive and polite, professional and progressive, energetic and enabling, efficient and effective, transparent and tech enabled.’ A Civil Servant has the honour and dignity of being a servant of the Indian people, not any individual master.

In past it was said that BIG fish Eats small fishes.the dynamics have changed now the Fast Fish Eats Slow Fish even if it is Big, Very Big. In the twentieth century, constructivism influenced education. Constructivists argued that learners must construct their own understanding of what is taught. The teacher's role is to create an environment in which students are able to direct their own learning and arrive at their own interpretations of knowledge.

The teacher was the “sage on the stage”. However, technology shifts the teacher’s role to the “guide on the side” as students take more responsibility for their own learning- so is public administration.
