In the middle of a prosperous city, you have an asylum where people are deprived of everything and are not anyone's priority. A week into taking charge as the collector, I went there and that sort of decided my work in Kozhikode. The Government Mental Health Centre at Kuthiravattam. What is the first thing that comes to your mind, when you hear the word Kozhikode? You've been the collector of Kozhikode for a long time. It feels good to see my chauffeur or my gunman call me bro. Many old gen bureaucrats are known to be rigid and are obsessed with hierarchy. There have been occasions where seniors call you 'bro', half mockingly. These days I'm surprised if someone doesn't call me bro. Has anyone surprised you by calling you, bro? But at the same time, it feels good to hear people say "We miss you" Prasanth Nair, MD, KSINC I was never attached to any posting because you keep moving. There's a different language to social media. I noticed that it became a thing when people started responding the same way to my Facebook posts. This wasn't a conscious decision, to be honest. Just like the IAS story, he had a lot more to share with us. We recently caught up with him at TNIE's ThinkEdu Conclave, after he delivered a speech on cracking UPSC. So, it wouldn't be surprising that the people of Kozhikode missed him dearly when he was transferred to Delhi, as the Deputy Secretary at the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The 'bro code' they had with him was stronger than what Barney Stinson had with Ted Mosby.įrom Compassionate Kozhikode to Operation Sulaimani, this IAS officer executed a lot of successful projects for the welfare of the people.

Before him, Keralites have never even dreamt of addressing a top bureaucrat in a friendly manner, let alone 'bro'. Because for us laymen, he is Kozhikode's very own 'Collector Bro'.
PRASANTH NAIR CRACKED
So years later, when he cracked the civil service code, did he adhere to the same generousity and humility that appealed to him then? Maybe you could answer that better. Recently posted as the Managing Director of Kerala Shipping Inland Navigation Corporation Ltd, that was this IAS officer's first impression of bureaucrats. "This might seem pretty cinematic, but I turned back to look at the name board and I saw 'IAS' written after his name," he says. Nair has been active in various industry forums like Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, BMA and NHRD, besides being guest faculty at premier management institutes.Upon getting the issue resolved, he asked his mother who the gentleman was, responding to which she explained to her son what a civil servant is supposed to do.
