Gave a lecture on the, Importance of History and its purpose, to 140 candidates who have cleared the IAS exams and joined the services as per their ranks in the All India List. These candidates have come to the Mari Chenna Reddy Human Development Institute in Hyderabad. After the candidates clear the IAS exam, they have a training for three and a half to four months. Half of these candidates are sent to Mussorie and the rest come to Hyderabad for training. In this group of 140, only 30, were girls. They came from all over India and will be joining the services like Income tax, Police, Revenue, Railways and many more allied branches. It was fun interacting with them and discussing how history will be suitable in their future career. On Saturday, they will speak on this topic and how History can help them and why did they join the Civil services. Generally, the candidates are divided into two groups but when an external expert like myself come, they are all combined into one group which is a large group. It was nice to interact with a girl who told me that she was pursuing her Ph. D from JNU on Women's issues and plans to complete this. Mari Chenna Reddy Institute in Hyderabad has a beautiful campus spread across thirty three acres with a lot of green cover and beautifully laid out gardens. This is a premier government Institute to train Civil and public servants and sharpen their personality, give them Knowledge and teach them public speaking skills. It is always fun to interact with the future administrators of our country.
