Many of you know what it’s like being an IAS officer. What responsibility you hold ? What terms and conditions you follow ?

Let me elaborate you this thing by giving an example of a house. I will be telling you this from beginning . Each and every aspect of these points will let you know about the steps to become an IAS officer . Followed by then life of it.

Let’s begin

There is a house . Your house and you have to first make sure

How is this house made ?

What were the components used to make this house ?

Who did how much of contribution and when ?

How many rooms are there in this house ?

Where are they located ?

Here you need to know about all the blueprints of this house required for you to understand the house completely

This is the point where you will know history of our country , geography and politics now you can perceive what I wanted to say.

Now you need to understand the family living in this house .

Those Who lived earlier .

Those who are living currently .

What are their responsibilities in family and so what are your responsibilities for them . Understand these responsibilities very deeply and carefully . Not just to fulfill the responsibilities but to make sure you do it from heart , yes joyfully .

As you are the responsible person who is responsible for every person living in the house , family member and guests . You need to make sure every family member is

Protected : By every means Whether it’s common illness or a threat to life

Serenity : Among every family member there must be peace patching them up.

Equity : Each and every family member must be treated with equal rules made for all. So is the rewarding for punishment .

Calamity : Responding to emergencies such as natural disaster, major accidents .

You just not have to maintain your house within the walls but also you will have to co-ordinate exteriorly with your neighbours and the ones who are responsible for your locality . You need to provide

Constructive suggestions to your local administration

Supervise the policies of state and central government.

After you have understood every blueprint of the house and when you are smart enough to understand roles , rules ,regulations for being responsible of your house. You are given an opportunity to maintain discipline of that house. You can bring a significant transformation in the country.

Not everybody gets this opportunity but the one who shows his/her capabilities to serve nation and continue to preserve it from any mischance.

Imagine being responsible for making fundamental reforms, ensuring education , health facilities, drinking water, transportation facilities, sanitation, nutrition and giving an example for everyone .

We all have watched MS Dhoni playing for Indian cricket team . I will repeat PLAYING FOR INDIAN cricket team . Representing our country , putting efforts with tenacious leadership over there. Like wise you will be helping whole India for its furthermore developments and Prosperity.

"It's never too late to start" and also it will be your choice to begin this journey behind schedule . So in case of you are moving heavily like a snail it's time to be alert .

You will be tested at first to be there. And before you give this test you need to make sure you are prepared well .

You will start from the right zero

Take you time .

And ask .

Ask yourself that “why shall I go to this IAS ?”

Why ?

Do I have any purpose ?

Or am I devoted to my country and its people ?

Do I care for them ?

Do I care for the responsibility of being an Indian citizen ?

You want to become an IAS officer

Because you are influenced by some personality

Because you want to serve your country

Because you want to make your parents proud

Because you want to live that life.

Reason could be anything but to believe on that reason and achieve your goal gives meaning to that reason.

Is it something I really want to be ? ASK

If the answer is no then ask again what you really want to be ?

What role will you play as a Human Being on this earth ?

What role you will play as a Citizen of this country ?

Or to your society, people ?

What are you giving ?

Final words

Don’t play on small

Try

Begin

Fall

Learn

Stand up again and

Spurt back
