Dear Vivek, Good question, indeed. If I have not heard of or seen the Pacific Ocean, it does not cease to exist. All that Nagesh needs to do is take the trouble to find out. One cannot keep on blaming the Portuguese colonial rule for everything.
Nikhil Dessai, the ex-Agriculture Officer who is now MD of Sugar Factory, would definitely make it to the IAS if there were coaching facilities in Goa. He tried twice...and almost made it in his second attempt! Sanjit Rodrigues, the Commissioner of CCP ,or Deepak Bandekar, the C.O. of MMC, might have attempted IAS if they had the facilities. Our college libraries can stock the question papers, our ex-IAS officers[not the 'absorbed' version like JC] could motivate potential students while in the FY of college or ,even, in high school. Ashutosh Teli chose Arts and prepared for IAS exams while others worked through B.Sc. That is the way many others make it to IAS from other states. We need this type of 'Career Guidance', not people telling our children what type of computer course is best suited for them. It is time we stopped only talking and posting on the net. It is time some of us got together and began to work to make this come true. Post on the net...but do something ,too.

My first question would be to ask as to how many Goans have tried joining the IAS. If we don't try to get into the IAS, how can we build a pool of Goan IAS guys? I think that the likes of JCAlmeida and Vaman Sardessai were promoted to the IAS cadres. The other two Goan IAS that I know of are Kakodkar and Prabhakar Kamat, the ex-Chairman of MPT. > > Nagesh Bhatcar One may like to add Arvind Bhatikar to the list of ex-IAS. Actually, we need to create a list of potential candidates for entering IAS cadres three years from now and every year there after. Look at the future....stop living in the Past. Viva Goa.
