WORK MORE, KNOW
MORE: PM MODI’S
MANTRA
FOR
SUCCESSFUL
LEADERSHIP
hat is leadership
and how to be-
come a leader?
The narrator
shares with us
Modiji’s
defini-
tion of leadership and his
advice on how to become a
leader worth one’s salt. We
also get to know how close
women empowerment is to
our PM’s heart and the initia-
tives he undertook to make it
a reality
.
DREAM NOT TO
BECOME
SOMEBO
DY;
DREAM OF DOING
SOMETHING
This is about the time when
world class indoor and out-
door sports complexes were
under construction in Va-
dodara. I came in touch with
Modiji at that time as he
would always keep a special
eye on the developments.
During my close association
with Modiji, I learnt several
important lessons from him.
Something that Modiji al-
ways said to the youngsters,
the karyakartas and others
was that – Never dream of
becoming
something, always
dream of doing something. If
you have decided to do some-
thing, you will eventually end
up becoming
what you wish
to be. But if you dream to be
someone, you will most likely
get entangled
in the web of
your own dreams and not be
able to achieve anything.
Thus the emphasis
was al-
ways on doing, on action!
He also talked about lead-
ership and shared his vision
with us. He used to tell me,
“If you wish to become a
leader, then work the hard-
est. Make it a point that you
work the harder than anyone
else around you.” He would
also encourage us to increase
our knowledge. Modiji’s mot-
to was “Work more than oth-
ers, know more than others.”
One should have complete
information about whatever
field one is in and that, he
said, came from spending
a
lot of time working hard on
the projects and the task at
hand.
It is important to
possess complete
in-
formation for success
which is possible when
you spend a good deal
of time at the work-
place. And Modiji
would always encour-
age karyakartas to
work with devotion
and dedication. Work
to Modiji is akin to su-
preme sacrifice of self.
He would insist that we
ask ourselves questions
such as “If our society
has given us this much,
what can we give back
to our society?”
This
was always his focus.
Honourable Modiji
had started the Garib
Kalyan Mela in Gujarat and
every time he attended that
event, he would gift cycles to
kids, sewing machines to
women - not just this, he
would also follow-up with the
women if the sewing ma-
chines were working or not
and how much they were able
to earn using the machine! I
remember, under Mission
Mangalam, Sakhi Mandals
were created and Modiji
was so concerned with
the welfare of the wom-
en that he would inter-
act with the women
himself to find out
whether they were feel-
ing empowered or not.
He definitely
harbours
a special corner for
women and he would
say “Women
of the
state, women of our
country, need to lead
self-reliant lives.” To
make that a reality,
Modiji left no stone
unturned
and en-
sured through con-
tinuous feedback that
the schemes
were
functioning well
enough and as in-
tended.
t makes a world of a differ-
ence when the PM cares
about the women and the
children
of the country.
The narrator
shares the
humane,
compassionate
side of PM Modi when his timely in-
tervention cured a young boy of his
ailment and helped him resume his
schooling.
It was during the Navaratris that I
had the honour of hosting Modiji over
tea. He is a devoted worshipper of the
Goddess and during Navaratris he is
even more cautious about the food he
eats. As Narendra
bhai moved out of
the premises after tea, he spotted a
boy standing far away in the crowd.
Even we did not know what happened
but Modiji started walking towards
the boy
. He requested
for the boy to be
brought to him from the crowd and as
he came to him, Modiji addressed
the
boy and asked “What has happened to
you?” The boy had a huge tumour at
onesideof hisneckandModijiputhis
finger to it to feel it and asked the boy
“Does it hurt you? Where are your
parents?”
The boy pointed out in the
distance towards his parents and
Modiji called for the parents to come
to him. He then interacted with the
parents of the boy to find out more
about his ailment.
He said to them “Your son is suffer-
ing so much. Does he study in a school
or not? Are you aware of the govern-
ment healthcare schemes in schools?
The entire amount will be borne by
the government for treatment of your
son. So you must take a certificate
from the school at the earliest and
show him to a doctor. The govern-
ment will ensure that your son is
cured of the disease, free of cost.”
Modiji then asked me to ensure a fol-
low-up to the case and it is with im-
mense pride I can say that the boy was
operated upon successfully by the
doctors and today he is studying well.
This is how Narendra
bhai shines
like a beacon light for the world to
feel inspired and encouraged to live
for others. His humanitarian
thoughts, compassion, and kindness
have no parallel. When I met Naren-
dra bhai a few months later, he re-
ferred to the boy once again in his
conversation with me and inquired
of me “How is the boy doing post op-
eration? Do you know how is he far-
ing now?” I told him, much to his
satisfaction, that the boy was doing
well and is healthy now. He was hap-
py to know that the boy was able to
walk around by himself and had re-
sumed his schooling
as well.
To be continued...

Children - PM is by your side!

asked “What has happened

Modiji put his finger to it to feel it
and asked the boy “Does it hurt you?
Where are your parents?” He said to
them “Your son is suffering so much.
Are you aware of the government
healthcare schemes in schools? So,
you must take a certificate from the
school at the earliest and show him

New Delhi: The third
day of the Monsoon Ses-
sion of the Parliament
was washed again as
both Houses, Lok Sabha
and Rajya Sabha, had to
be adjourned for the
day on Wednesday as
Opposition parties con-
tinued to protest over
the issue of price rise.
The Lower House
alone discussed some
issues under Rule 377
before adjourning for
the day. The Rajya Sab-
ha and the Lok Sabha
have failed to transact
any significant busi-
ness so far since the
Monsoon Session began
on Monday
.
Meanwhile, the rul-
ing Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) took a
swipe at Congress lead-
er Rahul Gandhi saying
that he may have been
“unproductive politi-
cally” but he should not
try to curb the legisla-
ture’s productivity
.
Earlier, the first and
second days of Mon-
soon Session were also
washed out. On the sec-
ond day, both Houses of
the Parliament also had
to be adjourned without
any substantial busi-
ness transpiring as
both Lok Sabha and Ra-
jya Sabha on Tuesday
witnessed disruptions
and protests over price
rise and the newly im-
posed GST on essential
commodities.
Regular strict
action should be
taken to prevent
illegal mining,

While speaking to the

KIRODI PLAYING TACTICS TO

Jaipur: Rural Development Minister
Ramesh Meena has raised questions
over the threat letter received by MP
Kirodi Lal Meena. Ramesh said that
whether the threat has been received

himself shot and took Y
category security. He
is seeking protection
but is already facing

There cannot be a greater crime of a
careless, autocratic and arrogant
government than that a sadhu who
gives direction to the society has to try to com-
mit self-immolation in order to wake up the
power-hungry Congress.

will do whatever
best it can. In-

WORK MORE, KNOW
MORE: PM MODI’S
MANTRA FOR
SUCCESSFUL
LEADERSHIP
hat is leadership
and how to be-
come a leader?
The narrator
shares with us
Modiji’s defini-
tion of leadership and his
advice on how to become a
leader worth one’s salt. We
also get to know how close
women empowerment is to
our PM’s heart and the initia-
tives he undertook to make it
a reality
.
DREAM NOT TO
BECOME SOMEBODY;
DREAM OF DOING
SOMETHING
This is about the time when
world class indoor and out-
door sports complexes were
under construction in Va-
dodara. I came in touch with
Modiji at that time as he
would always keep a special
eye on the developments.
During my close association
with Modiji, I learnt several
important lessons from him.
Something that Modiji al-
ways said to the youngsters,
the karyakartas and others
was that – Never dream of
becoming something, always
dream of doing something. If
you have decided to do some-
thing, you will eventually end
up becoming what you wish
to be. But if you dream to be
someone, you will most likely
get entangled in the web of
your own dreams and not be
able to achieve anything.
Thus the emphasis was al-
ways on doing, on action!
He also talked about lead-
ership and shared his vision
with us. He used to tell me,
“If you wish to become a
leader, then work the hard-
est. Make it a point that you
work the harder than anyone
else around you.” He would
also encourage us to increase
our knowledge. Modiji’s mot-
to was “Work more than oth-
ers, know more than others.”
One should have complete
information about whatever
field one is in and that, he
said, came from spending a
lot of time working hard on
hand.
It is important to
possess complete in-
formation for success
which is possible when
you spend a good deal
of time at the work-
place. And Modiji
age karyakartas to
work with devotion
to our society?” This
was always his focus.
Honourable Modiji
had started the Garib
Kalyan Mela in Gujarat and
every time he attended that
event, he would gift cycles to
kids, sewing machines to
women - not just this, he
would also follow-up with the
women if the sewing ma-
chines were working or not
and how much they were able
to earn using the machine! I
remember, under Mission
Mangalam, Sakhi Mandals
act with the women
himself to find out
He definitely harbours
women and he would
say “Women of the
state, women of our
unturned and en-
sured through con-
the schemes were
functioning well
enough and as in-
tended.
t makes a world of a differ-
ence when the PM cares
about the women and the
children of the country.
The narrator shares the
humane, compassionate
side of PM Modi when his timely in-
tervention cured a young boy of his
ailment and helped him resume his
schooling.
It was during the Navaratris that I
had the honour of hosting Modiji over
tea. He is a devoted worshipper of the
Goddess and during Navaratris he is
even more cautious about the food he
eats. As Narendra bhai moved out of
the premises after tea, he spotted a
boy standing far away in the crowd.
Even we did not know what happened
but Modiji started walking towards
the boy
. He requested for the boy to be
brought to him from the crowd and as
he came to him, Modiji addressed the
boy and asked “What has happened to
you?” The boy had a huge tumour at
onesideof hisneckandModijiputhis
finger to it to feel it and asked the boy
“Does it hurt you? Where are your
parents?” The boy pointed out in the
distance towards his parents and
Modiji called for the parents to come
to him. He then interacted with the
parents of the boy to find out more
about his ailment.
He said to them “Your son is suffer-
ing so much. Does he study in a school
or not? Are you aware of the govern-
ment healthcare schemes in schools?
The entire amount will be borne by
the government for treatment of your
son. So you must take a certificate
from the school at the earliest and
show him to a doctor. The govern-
ment will ensure that your son is
cured of the disease, free of cost.”
Modiji then asked me to ensure a fol-
low-up to the case and it is with im-
mense pride I can say that the boy was
operated upon successfully by the
doctors and today he is studying well.
This is how Narendra bhai shines
like a beacon light for the world to
feel inspired and encouraged to live
for others. His humanitarian
thoughts, compassion, and kindness
have no parallel. When I met Naren-
dra bhai a few months later, he re-
ferred to the boy once again in his
conversation with me and inquired
of me “How is the boy doing post op-
eration? Do you know how is he far-
ing now?” I told him, much to his
satisfaction, that the boy was doing
well and is healthy now. He was hap-
py to know that the boy was able to
walk around by himself and had re-
sumed his schooling as well.

odiji addressed a boy and
asked “What has happened

tumour at one side of his neck and
Modiji put his finger to it to feel it
and asked the boy “Does it hurt you?
Where are your parents?” He said to
them “Your son is suffering so much.
Are you aware of the government
healthcare schemes in schools? So,
you must take a certificate from the
school at the earliest and show him

PM IS CONCERNED ABOUT
WELFARE OF WOMEN
I
remember, under Mission Mangalam,
Sakhi Mandals were created and Modiji
was so concerned with the welfare of
the women that he would interact with the
women himself to find out whether they
were feeling empowered or not.
Women of the state,
women of our country,

GOVT VS OPPN
New Delhi (PTI):
Slamming the Opposi-

Piyush Goyal said on
Wednesday Congress
was disrupting proceed-
ings in the House.
“Congress has a de-
structive attitude to-
wards democracy. It
was exposed from
Jairam Ramesh’s tweet
that Congress was suc-
cessful in not allowing
the House to function,”
Goyal, who is the Lead-
er of House in Rajya
Sabha, told reporters
outside parliament.
He alleged there was
a competition among
opposition parties on
who would disrupt par-
liament most. The gov-
ernment is not running
away from debate on
price rise and GST and
the issues can be taken
up once the finance
minister recovers from
COVID-19,” he said.
RS Chairperson and
the LS Speaker also ex-
pressed their readiness
for discussion, the par-
ty leaders said.
IS IT ‘UNPARLIAMENTARY’ TO DISCUSS
INFLATION, ASKS PRIYANKA GANDHI SLAMS
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on
Wednesday alleged that PM Modi is increasing household
expenditure while shying away from a discussion on it in
Parliament, and asked whether it is “unparlia-
mentary” to discuss inflation. The Congress
said it is “cruel” on the part of the government
to raise taxes on some essential items of
consumption as it will lead to a further rise
in inflation. In a tweet in Hindi, Gandhi said
that in the midst of severe inflation, house-
holds needed “sanjeevani” (major boost). The
BJP-led government increased the burden of inflation further
by imposing “Grihasthi Satyanash Tax (GST)” (household
destruction tax) on flour, grains, jaggery and curd, she said.
New Delhi: The government
is ready for a debate in Par-
liament on price rise once FM
Nirmala Sitharaman recovers
from Covid, the BJP asserted
on Wednesday and targeted
Rahul Gandhi, saying he may
be “unproductive politically”
but should not hurt the leg-
islature’s productivity. Union
ministers Piyush Goyal,
Pralhad Joshi and Smriti Irani
hit out at Opposition as both
Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
saw little transactions for the

day attacked PM Modi over
the imposition of GST on
packaged food items, saying
the PM who listens to even
the unsaid words of “friends”
will also have to listen to the
people and take back this
move. He said
the recipe
of “Gabbar”
for people
struggling
with inflation
is to make
less, eat less
and “satisfy hunger with the
‘tadka of jumlas’”. He said it
is “cruel” of the government
to raise taxes on some essen-
tial items of consumption as
it will lead to further inflation.
“Recipe of ‘Gabbar’ for peo-
ple struggling with inflation:
Make less, eat less, satisfy
hunger with the ‘tadka of
jumlas’. The PM, who listens
to even the unsaid words of
‘friends’, will now also have
to listen to the public and
withdraw this GST,” Gandhi
said in a tweet in Hindi.
Minister Piyush Goyal speaks outside Parliament on Wednesday.
There were widespread protests in the country against the government’s NRC plan in early 2020.

Lucknow: Due to the

of IAS officers in Uttar
Pradesh, PCS officers
are facing the utmost
brunt. Due to the arriv-
al of a large batch of
IAS officers, 46 IAS of-
ficers are posted on the
chair of CDO in the dis-
tricts while the number
of PCS officers has
come down from 40 to 9!
The number of officers
who became CDO after
getting promoted from
the same Departmental
Provincial Develop-
ment Service (PDS) re-
mains 20 even today.
There has been a lot of
change in the number
of IAS and PCS officers.
The IAS Association al-
ways stands with their
young PCS officers to
deploy them in the dis-
tricts in which they are
accompanied by the IAS
officers, however, their
PCS association does
not even advocate for
making PCS officers as
CDOs. Due to this, PCS
officers are posted only
in Ghazipur, Basti,
Mau, Etawah, Mainpu-
ri, Saharanpur, Deoria,
Azamgarh and Lakhim-
pur Kheri on the chair
of CDO. While IAS 2014
to 2018 batch officers
have become CDO, yet
