Challenges before an IAS, IPS or any Civil Servant

  • You have to work in a rigid hierarchical system, answerable to those at higher echelons at every step. This may sometimes act as a hindrance to freedom and creative inputs.
  • You may have to work in an atmosphere of brazen corruption, red-tapeism and unaccountability.
  • Deployed in a different state/cadre, or in case of Indian Foreign Service officers, in different countries, you may have to spend a lot of time away from home, family and friends.
  • You might have to work under severe stress and pressure while handling situations that can create law and order problems. Most IPS officers, working in the C.I.D or C.B.I departments regularly confront such work situations.
  • When a project fails to take off, you alone are often made the scapegoat by politicians, people and the press.
