The last 30 days have been eventful. I have been posted as the Assistant Collector of Bhadradri-Kothagudem district (Telangana) on 24.05.2019, a day after India elected its new union government. As I completed one month in the district, I reflected on my stay here and asked myself: What has been my learning in the past one month?
After giving it enough thought, I had a short answer— I learned to begin again.
Life in the district cannot be more different than the one at LBSNAA. Academy is similar to a college: much of the learning happens in the classroom, there are clear rules as to what you are supposed to do, and your superiors are always around to help you out with any task. In contrast, district training reminds me of life after college. You are now suddenly thrown into the real world where you are left on your own. You start a new career and tend to learn more from your peers and superiors than books or PPTs. The academy was about friendships, camaraderie and crisp weather. The district, on the other hand, is about dust, sweat and sweltering heat.
Out here, because of the proximity to the public and their problems, the learning is imprinted in the memory. Sometimes, I am sent on a field enquiry and asked to submit a report on a land dispute, or at times I am directed to visit a Gram Sabha, and encourage people to build toilets. As these tasks are new to me, sometimes they leave me confused as to how I should proceed. But I believe that difficulty is the essence of any learning. I recently came across a great quote that reads: “Difficulty is not a sign that you aren’t learning, but ease is a sign that you aren’t learning.”
“There are always detours, but never shortcuts”
The first thing that caught my eye in this district is how unique it is from the rest of the state. The district took birth when the govt undertook a sweeping reorganisation of the state in 2016. The erstwhile districts were sliced into smaller districts, aiming to bring administration closer to the people. The result— 10 districts have given way to 33. As part of this reorganisation, the government delineated tribal dominated northern part of the erstwhile Khammam district and rechristened it as Bhadradri, bearing 24 mandals and 2 revenue divisions. For a supposedly rich state like Telangana, this district is one of the most backward, with many human development indicators such as nutrition, literacy, and sanitation much below the national average.
I spent one week each with the collectorate, police and the district treasury. In each section, I tried to discern the hierarchy and their individual responsibilities. Having worked in the government previously, I could get an idea on office procedure and file movement. The staff here has been courteous with me, patiently answering my questions and explaining the nuts and bolts of governance. But my biggest learning has been outside of the four walls of the office, during my field visits with the Collector.
As and when my Collector toured the district, he’d ask me to hop on his vehicle. The more I visited the villages and mandals of this district, the more I found this place to be a paradox. This district is home to Singareni Collieries Company Ltd, a coal mining PSU that recorded almost Rs. 1200 crore profit in 2017-18. Yet, just 50 km from the company headquarters, inside deep jungles of Bhadradri, vulnerable tribal groups often struggle for existence. Their worry is not over power or profits, but over basic needs— clean water, good shelter, and decent nutrition. Even reaching these forest dwellers has been a major challenge for the government. However, things have changed in recent years and the administration has been working assiduously in the areas of recognition of land rights and ensuring that public services are effectively delivered even to the most remote segments.
The paradox in the district manifested in other forms too. On one hand, the district is known for its glorious Bhadrachalam temple of Lord Rama, attracting tourists from across the country. On the other hand, this part of the country is also notorious for its Left-Wing Extremist violence. Only last year, ten Maoists and one cop were killed in a police encounter. This contrast between affluence and deprivation, privilege and poverty, peace and violence leaves a deep impression on anyone who observes this place closely.
I have lived and travelled in Telangana for almost 29 years but it now feels as though I don’t know enough about my home state. Last month has been a revelation in two things: a discovery of my homeland and a profound realisation of my ignorance. Having been brought up in this state, I feel I should have been better informed.
Instead of regretting the past, I now want to look ahead. I see district training as a wonderful time to start with a blank slate and learn with child-like curiosity. I want to learn about the state, know its people closely, understand their problems, and work to help them in whatever little way I can. I have a long-distance to cover but I am excited to start this new journey. It’s time to begin again.
Great post!

I’m feeling very happy nd pround like u person posting to my home town. I inspired by u alot sir.Bhadradri dist people treats u like there family members. All the best Sir.
Hello sir, I feel your blog should be the first site that any fresher should visit. Your experience makes you unique among all the toppers. A billion thanks for putting your experience into this fabulous site to help us. I have few queries
1. Do you recommend magazines CSR, PRATIYOGITA DARPAN and sites like STUDYIQ. Please comment “why” we don’t need these, if any.
2. You recommend non-fiction books but do books like “Dan browns -Angels and demons” which belongs to fiction help us. I feel books such as these are thought provoking and please suggest more books if you feel yes and also “why”if we don’t need such books.
I am asking these to know your opinion kindly comment…..
1. Use them specifically. By this I mean you should buy only to read any specific topic covered in detail in a particular issue. For example, if any month’s edition of CSR summarises Economic Survey very well, then buy only that issue, read that specific topic and file it for future revision. I didn’t find any need to buy every month’s issue.
2. Fiction is for leisure, like watching a movie. Clearly it isn’t relevant from exam’s perspective.
Belated happy birthday sir. Keep shining
Thank you for the wishes.
Sir I am also preparing for upsc and going to appear exam in 2021. But my feedback is not good as many other aspirants. I not an iitian nor topper. I always work hard but I don’t know what’s wrong with my dedication or my luck. I never got what I want in spite of working hard.
And now the situation is that no one trust me that I can clear upsc.
Can only gold medalist or toppers clear this exam?
Plzz guide me sir
I am ur dieheart fan. You aremy mentor.
And I am just waiting for day when I’ll see u live just once?
I didn’t study in the IIT, nor have I been my college topper. But I think I did well in UPSC, don’t you think? Your rank depends on how well you perform in the exam. Rest is irrelevant.
Really great sir…!!
Ur in such a prestigious job…don’t even have time to see all these replies….but surprisingly ur giving replies to each and everyone….?
Ur blog is extremely helpful and how can we meet you personally….is it possible or not sir…?
Sir how can i improve my decision making
Your writings are really great Anudeep Garu !! I actually wait for your new posts. When i read it, i feel like am on the ground there with you. Keep writing for us sir. And on this new beginning, you are on your way to do some great things indeed. Congratulations and my best wishes for your new role as a civil servant !! Keep going Anudeep garu !!
Thank you so much, Harish.
Hi sir, Good Day
Many of civil servant who are secured good rank, they guided up to some period of time only then they may busy with their work, but still you are guiding many new aspirant and surely i want to say one think that you are responding every comments that is great attitude ..
you are bench mark in this field, god bless you bro..
Writing and teaching are my passion. As long as I love doing them, this blog will remain alive and kicking!
Dear Anudeep,
You have a a great attitude and very humble behavior.
Belated happy birth day wishes.My birthday too is on the same day.
Always keep your smile.
Hello Anudeep sir,
No need to mention that whenever I read your blogs. I get something from it, that makes me keep thinking and learn a lesson from it.
“Difficulty is not a sign that you aren’t learning, but ease is a sign that you aren’t learning”
So true, we mostly seek and take shelter of ease and thought that we get better learning in this shelter. “Ease is a greater threat to progress than Hardship”
“A blank Slate and learn with Child-like curiosity”
This statement makes me smile and give me a lesson. To be always blank slate and be in the child mode. “As a child has the zeal to learn everything from his surrounding” “Curiosity”.
pardon me to forget your birthday sir,
Belated Happy birthday,
I wish to meet you.
Take care, sir.
I feel happy when someone finds my writings of some value. Very kind of you, Hemant.
And thank you for the birthday wishes.
Anudeep!

*ఇక్కడ, ప్రజలకు మరియు వారి సమస్యలకు సామీప్యత కారణంగా, అభ్యాసం జ్ఞాపకశక్తిలో ముద్రించబడింది. కొన్నిసార్లు, నేను క్షేత్రస్థాయి విచారణకు పంపబడతాను మరియు భూమి వివాదంపై నివేదికను సమర్పించమని అడగబడతాను, లేదా కొన్నిసార్లు గ్రామసభను సందర్శించమని మరియు మరుగుదొడ్లు నిర్మించుకునేలా ప్రజలను ప్రోత్సహించమని ఆదేశించబడతాను. ఈ పనులు నాకు కొత్తవి కాబట్టి, కొన్నిసార్లు నేను ఎలా కొనసాగించాలో తెలియక నన్ను గందరగోళానికి గురిచేస్తాయి. కానీ ఏదైనా అభ్యాసం యొక్క సారాంశం కష్టం అని నేను నమ్ముతాను. నేను ఇటీవల ఒక గొప్ప ఉల్లేఖనాన్ని చూశాను: “కష్టం అనేది మీరు నేర్చుకోలేదని చెప్పడానికి సంకేతం కాదు, కానీ మీరు నేర్చుకోలేదని తేలికగా ఉంటుంది.”*
*”ఎప్పుడూ డొంకర్లు ఉంటాయి, కానీ సత్వరమార్గాలు ఉండవు”*
*రాష్ట్రవ్యాప్తంగా ఈ జిల్లా ఎంత ప్రత్యేకతను సంతరించుకుంటుందన్నదే నా దృష్టిని ముందుగా ఆకర్షించింది. 2016లో ప్రభుత్వం రాష్ట్ర పునర్వ్యవస్థీకరణను చేపట్టినప్పుడు ఈ జిల్లా ఆవిర్భవించింది. ప్రజలకు పరిపాలనను మరింత చేరువ చేసే లక్ష్యంతో పూర్వపు జిల్లాలు చిన్న జిల్లాలుగా విభజించబడ్డాయి. ఫలితంగా- 10 జిల్లాలు 33కి దారితీశాయి. ఈ పునర్వ్యవస్థీకరణలో భాగంగా, పూర్వపు ఖమ్మం జిల్లాలో ఆదివాసీల ఆధిపత్యం ఉన్న ఉత్తర భాగాన్ని ప్రభుత్వం వివరించి, 24 మండలాలు మరియు 2 రెవెన్యూ డివిజన్లతో కూడిన భద్రాద్రిగా పేరు మార్చింది. తెలంగాణ వంటి ధనిక రాష్ట్రం కోసం, ఈ జిల్లా అత్యంత వెనుకబడిన జిల్లాలలో ఒకటి, పోషకాహారం, అక్షరాస్యత మరియు పారిశుధ్యం వంటి అనేక మానవ అభివృద్ధి సూచికలు జాతీయ సగటు కంటే చాలా తక్కువగా ఉన్నాయి.*
*నేను కలెక్టరేట్, పోలీసు మరియు జిల్లా ఖజానాతో తలా ఒక వారం గడిపాను. ప్రతి విభాగంలో, నేను సోపానక్రమం మరియు వారి వ్యక్తిగత బాధ్యతలను గుర్తించడానికి ప్రయత్నించాను. ఇంతకుముందు ప్రభుత్వంలో పనిచేసినందున, నాకు ఆఫీసు విధానం మరియు ఫైల్ కదలికపై ఒక ఆలోచన వచ్చింది. ఇక్కడి సిబ్బంది నాతో మర్యాదగా ప్రవర్తించారు, నా ప్రశ్నలకు ఓపికగా సమాధానాలు ఇస్తూ, పాలనకు సంబంధించిన నట్స్ అండ్ బోల్ట్లను వివరిస్తున్నారు. కానీ కలెక్టర్తో నా క్షేత్ర సందర్శనల సమయంలో ఆఫీసు నాలుగు గోడల వెలుపల నా పెద్ద చదువులు నేర్చుకున్నాను.*
*నా కలెక్టర్ జిల్లాలో పర్యటించినప్పుడు, ఆయన నన్ను తన వాహనం ఎక్కించమని అడిగారు. నేను ఈ జిల్లాలోని గ్రామాలు మరియు మండలాలను ఎంత ఎక్కువగా సందర్శిస్తాను, ఈ ప్రదేశం చాలా వైరుధ్యంగా ఉంది. ఈ జిల్లాలో సింగరేణి కాలరీస్ కంపెనీ లిమిటెడ్, బొగ్గు గనుల PSU దాదాపు రూ. 2017-18లో 1200 కోట్ల లాభం. అయినప్పటికీ, కంపెనీ ప్రధాన కార్యాలయం నుండి కేవలం 50 కిలోమీటర్ల దూరంలో, భద్రాద్రిలోని లోతైన అడవిలో, బలహీనమైన గిరిజన సమూహాలు తరచుగా ఉనికి కోసం పోరాడుతున్నాయి. వారి ఆందోళన అధికారం లేదా లాభాలపై కాదు, ప్రాథమిక అవసరాలపై- పరిశుభ్రమైన నీరు, మంచి ఆశ్రయం మరియు మంచి పోషకాహారం. ఈ అటవీ వాసులను చేరుకోవడం కూడా ప్రభుత్వానికి పెద్ద సవాలుగా మారింది. ఏది ఏమైనప్పటికీ, ఇటీవలి సంవత్సరాలలో పరిస్థితులు మారాయి మరియు భూమి హక్కులను గుర్తించడం మరియు ప్రజా సేవలను అత్యంత మారుమూల ప్రాంతాలకు కూడా సమర్థవంతంగా అందజేయడం వంటి అంశాలలో పరిపాలన శ్రద్ధగా పని చేస్తోంది.*
*జిల్లాలో వైరుధ్యం ఇతర రూపాల్లోనూ వ్యక్తమైంది. ఒక వైపు, జిల్లా దాని అద్భుతమైన భద్రాచలం శ్రీరామ దేవాలయానికి ప్రసిద్ధి చెందింది, దేశవ్యాప్తంగా పర్యాటకులను ఆకర్షిస్తుంది. మరోవైపు, దేశంలోని ఈ భాగం దాని వామపక్ష తీవ్రవాద హింసకు కూడా ప్రసిద్ధి చెందింది. గతేడాది పోలీసు ఎన్కౌంటర్లో పది మంది మావోయిస్టులు, ఒక పోలీసు మరణించారు. ఐశ్వర్యం మరియు లేమి, హక్కులు మరియు పేదరికం, శాంతి మరియు హింస మధ్య వ్యత్యాసం ఈ స్థలాన్ని నిశితంగా పరిశీలించే ఎవరికైనా లోతైన ముద్ర వేస్తుంది.*
*నేను దాదాపు 29 సంవత్సరాలుగా తెలంగాణలో నివసించాను మరియు ప్రయాణించాను, కానీ ఇప్పుడు నా స్వంత రాష్ట్రం గురించి నాకు తగినంతగా తెలియనట్లు అనిపిస్తుంది. గత నెలలో రెండు విషయాలలో వెల్లడైంది: నా మాతృభూమి యొక్క ఆవిష్కరణ మరియు నా అజ్ఞానం యొక్క లోతైన అవగాహన. ఈ స్థితిలో పెరిగినందున, నాకు మరింత మెరుగైన సమాచారం అందించాలని నేను భావిస్తున్నాను.*
*గతం గురించి పశ్చాత్తాపం చెందే బదులు, నేను ఇప్పుడు ముందుకు చూడాలనుకుంటున్నాను. జిల్లా శిక్షణను ఖాళీ స్లేట్తో ప్రారంభించి, పిల్లల వంటి ఉత్సుకతతో నేర్చుకోవడానికి అద్భుతమైన సమయంగా నేను చూస్తున్నాను. నేను రాష్ట్రం గురించి తెలుసుకోవాలనుకుంటున్నాను, దాని ప్రజలను దగ్గరగా తెలుసుకోవాలనుకుంటున్నాను, వారి సమస్యలను అర్థం చేసుకోవాలనుకుంటున్నాను మరియు వారికి నేను చేయగలిగినంత సహాయం చేయడానికి కృషి చేయాలనుకుంటున్నాను. నేను చాలా దూరం ప్రయాణించవలసి ఉంది, కానీ ఈ కొత్త ప్రయాణాన్ని ప్రారంభించడానికి నేను సంతోషిస్తున్నాను. ఇది మళ్లీ ప్రారంభించడానికి సమయం.*
