Hardcover. Condition: New. ABOUT THE BOOK The author, who was inspired to serve people by his parents and Lord Jesus, got the befitting opportunity to do so by joining the IAS. The book records how he strived to achieve his aim in every post he held, including as the Chief Secretary of Tamil Nadu for 3 years, in Central Government in Delhi or UNICEF in New York. The book provides a detailed account of the author's five eventful years as the Governor of Orissa. He began his tenure in a turbulent time when the State was reeling under the impact of an unprecedented supercyclone the like of which Orissa had never experienced before and the State Government itself became rudderless. He fulfilled the mandate given to him by the Prime Minister to proactively guide the State Government particularly in organizing relief and rehabilitation work. The author illustrates how a Governor, as Chancellor of the Universities, could modernize and insulate them from political interference. If this book, at least in a small way, makes it known to the people of the country and may be even to present Governors, how Governors can function effectively even within constitutional limits without just being figureheads, it would have more than served its purpose.

In recognition of his outstanding service, he was appointed Governor.…

Octavo softcover (VG); all our specials have minimal description to keep listing them viable. They are at least reading copies, complete and in reasonable condition but usually secondhand; frequently they are superior examples. Ordering more than one book keeps postage costs down.
