Ask, Believe, Receive! #BreakingUpdate
What started as 'Call for Application' from #Ministry's LinkedIn handle and few news papers including The Economic Times in December last year, concluded in a reality on 9th of April, 2024 for me.
Yesterday, I formally joined as Social Defense Fellow at Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, GOI, in the Inaugral batch of Indian Administrative Fellowship, executed through PPP mode by National Institute of Social Defense and The/Nudge Institute. This unique & 1st of it's kind engagement at a central Ministry, will be my full time assignment for the next 18 Months.
My parents blessed me yesterday at #Dr_Ambedkar_International_Centre, New Delhi, on my 1st day of the fellowship, as I started to continue adding profound #Purpose to my life at work.
As my #Father stands there wearning his pride, with his long cherished deepest desire playing on my mind, to see his son participate in Public Policy & serve the country, nothing could have stopped me to leave my 8 figure salary to start my National Service tenure, to work on Project of National Importance for the next 18 Months.
