Flood-hit Kerala training ground for IAS aspirants

Deccan Chronicle  

Alappuzha: The flood-hit areas in the state appear to be a good training ground for the civil service aspirants. Around 40 youngsters aged between 16 and 25, who are undergoing training at an institution named Chanakyamandal Parivar in Pune, have landed in Kainakary panchayat and cleaned the flooded government offices on Thursday. Many of them want to join the Indian Administrative Service and were sent here for hard training by their teacher Avinash Dharmadhikari, a retired IAS officer, who believes in human-centric civil service. They walked down the bunds on the Pampa riverside for about 100 metres to reach the panchayat office from the jetty, carrying cleaning materials, including long-handed brushes, spades, buckets and shovels provided by the panchayat administration and cleaned the office within three to four hours.
