We don't know when this journey will end. Some of the attempts are 100% dedicated and fully worked. But we don't know the problems. Some of the attempts are half-hearted and unexpected. We don't know how this journey will end. UPSC exam is a mystery box. We have five people to kind of understand. We can ask them how they understood the mystery. All of you, this year's UPSC toppers. All in the rank 36, Arya Vee M. All in the rank 160, Meera P.R. All in the rank 172, Malavika Jean Ayer. All in the rank 233, Nanda Goban. Itta vanate civil service couples are there. All in the rank 254, Sivilupradhi. Hearty congratulations to all of you first and foremost. We are very happy that all of you have come here. So, let's discuss about this journey of UPSC preparation and how you have reached this phase. In the beginning, there would be a day when you decided that you will write UPSC. All of us had such a dose in our lives. We always have a day when preparation journey begins. It is a day of dreams. You know, you are expecting that I am going to prepare a year when I will be studying. I will write this, clear it. I have a photo of me in my newspaper. I have an injury in my TV. And all of a sudden, I become IAS officer or whatever is your aspiration. Then, we have put a lot of hype for the movies. You know, I am a collector with movies. I am doing a lot of things. Then, this dream kind of somewhere becomes a nightmare, maybe. Because, we start facing failures. Unfortunately or fortunately, UPSC is a power. Because, the percentage of clearing is very less. There are 3-4 lakh people in the list. There are thousands of them in the list. And this becomes a nightmare somewhere. And then slowly, slowly, we accept the reality. Okay, the exam is like this. I will lose if I don't think about it. Accept it. And finally, today, all of you are winners. Okay, so, can you just recollect that day when you started this preparation. To this day, when you are somewhere relieved. You know, happy, I know all of you. And I know the relief of coming out of the cycle of examination. So, can you just recollect that day to this day. A short summary of your journey. So, the journey I started was not so conventional. I started this journey from a friend. We were classmates. People are always interesting stories. Generally, they are very aware. Even though I was the top student in the class, it was not so interesting to talk to me. Everyone likes to talk to me. Is it in college or in the class? School and college. We both studied together. So, I asked an old man like this. What is the secret? How can everyone be so aware? When we study in schools, we study in books. But, it is an outside reading. I have always seen that. He said that he is my uncle's retired civil servant. So, he has done things like that. I am entertaining like this. I thought about this. A retired civil servant who can provide a young generation with such prospective. That says something about that profession. I started looking into UPSC. I was an NRI. I studied in the Indian curriculum. I was not very familiar with Indian subjects. I was a teacher who wanted to become an entrepreneur. I was a teacher who wanted to become an entrepreneur. I was a teacher who wanted to become an entrepreneur. I thought about how to make decisions if we don't know enough, nopalkon we can take Για So I began coaching. I started this in��ly. So we learntog measures back home. We have 24 services now. At the top, I did some more research. ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ ಈ  අප්හ එය්ී ඇතුඩෙක් වපීබ මමු ීපදම රේය ඦ�ැට් පවල්භ ගඩ් පශගේ්. ඉපටට කළතුannel දමම්ාව වකඩ්. අපට් මවල ලේද් දහුඩෙභා පනා恭ශ් හන් මිතාව. itt is going to be 20 lakh, confiance is going to be 40 lakhermaid, it is going to get 20 lakh서도 for 1st small service only, customer level will be more large than net. so I told you that I am spiritual as an sovereigntiag, and when we go there to see and hear, it's an opportunity to outline our texts, and then it gets to the conduct of the people. And maybe that will get me to take My hostel is EX Woman ruins. Beau, you´ve faced the failure. How was your journey? It´s a long journey because it is said to have yearning achievement. Today´s yearning is so unrealistic. While I was studying at school not much of my luck was good. As it seems it is some of the sitar stuff you like. So what youtubers stand on the training table when they visit different schools. എനാ്ഽിിരിയോലെന്ല്ാ്ടംത്ര്�掌ിന്ന്്ാരായായ്ളായാരിര്ക്ലിക്ാമ്ട്ക്ലായ്ക്്ക്രിന്ന്ക്ക്ക്ക്ക്ന്ന്ട്ക്ക asaroo ឿ ឡកំ ឪទំ favorable ឡ ឡំ ឪះ�Nat Braun ឡ ឡះកំ a joining ឡះកំ ʸʟʟʷកំ ឪ់កៀ ឡ់ក យះក អយʷកៀ រ�sche ឫ់ក-��ៀ The civil service was so important at that point. At that time, I don't know anything more. I saw the pictures and it was completely washed out. At that time, I associated a range with voice donation project. I mentioned it in my daffy. It is an audiobook creation project. We will read it, watch it, and it will reach visually challenged people. At that time, part of the project was a meet-up with the beneficiaries. I didn't go there. I didn't go to Pondicherry. It was a friend of mine who co-ordinated it. She called me in the night and said that she loves you. She said some good things. At that time, I got a sense of happiness, a sense of satisfaction. At that time, I felt that the pictures I saw would have changed. But there is something to be done. I can do small things in the way that people are happy. It is a good way that I wanted to do. It is the way of civil services. So, at that moment, the spark came. I wanted to go back. I wanted to write an exam. Even though I wanted to go back, there were many distractions. So, I felt that I wanted to go back for a sense of satisfaction. But again, I took another year. At that time, I wasn't confident enough to give an attempt. Because it takes a lot of things. We take a lot of time and convenience of a year. I couldn't give it at that time. So, again, I went to a teaching professional. In 2020, I started studying my phone at home. Then I thought that I will not be happy. Teaching is a good job. But I felt that I will not be happy with that. And that's how I started. I will still remember that day. Again, I was studying in front of the computer. I saw a person studying. Then, I gave the first attempt. I thought I will clear. Because it was a good concert effort. I was looking for keys and almost came. But I couldn't. It was sad. But anyway, I thought that I will give one attempt. And here I am. And again, I was happy. I took some time to sing. But I am relieved. More than anything. Great. Neeta. During my school journey, I think there was a dream somewhere. But then, I went to St. Xavier's Bombay to study in college. It was an economic journey. In that culture, a lot of career opportunities actually opened up. I got to know about various ways in which I can contribute. That is, even public policy or the development sector. I understood a lot of alternate career paths. I didn't want to be a civil service. So, moving to a public policy was a good focus. Then, I went to Delhi and worked. I came back to Bombay to work as a social worker. At that time, UPSC did not even cross my mind. But I think, generally, in this sector, I want to be in public service. In some way or the other, what inspired me was my social work. Because, I did a lot of fieldwork. It was a very rigorous, tiseltta fieldwork was one of the best fieldwork. You get to see things that you will never see in your life. When I experienced a lot of things like that, I knew that, okay, I will do anything for this line of work. But civil service did not cross my mind. After this, I joined Reliance Foundation. I was working in CSR. Then, I was in Covid. Even though I was working in CSR, it was a corporate job. At that time, I was working in Mumbai. I was stuck. No one was there with me. There was a lot of change. Professionally, personally, I could not come home. When I was like that, I started working with some dissolution. I realised, okay, I want to go back to what I was doing before corporate job. At that time, I thought, okay, I will do civil service. Anyway, I have decided that I will do this line of work. So, what better way to do this from within the system? Other than that, no matter how much I work in private, no matter what NGOs I associate with, there are limitations. But when we started working as part of the government, there was a lot more that you can do. At that time, I understood that. So, that is how I became interested in civil service. But I was working. After working, I started studying. I did not enroll in coaching institutes. I wanted to study myself. I wanted to see what is happening. Then, I came back home. And I quit my job. I was like, okay, let me try this. And I was not very happy with my job also. So, I quit my job. Few months, I studied on my own. But then, I got restless. I really like to do my job. I have to do something. When I came to Neethiyog, I applied as a young professional there. That was Kitti. So, after Kitti, I decided not to do that. Then, I joined there. So, it was the second wave of Covid. For 2-3 months, I had an opportunity to do my work from home. So, I studied a bit more. I made a promise. What was Neethiyog? I was in the Development, Monitoring and Evaluation Office. It was an attached office of Neethiyog. At the time of the planning commission, it was a project evaluation office. All the policies of the government were finally evaluated. It was a unit to decide whether to extend it or not. So, it is called DMEO. Basically, DMEO is the most major item to submit the outcome budget. So, it is entirely DMEO. So, I joined there as a national. I moved back to Delhi. I returned from my home from Kochi. I went to Delhi. I had a full work. I was a model for the service. But, I was not consistent. I was not regular. I applied for the Prilams 2021 in October. I came to Kochi on Friday night. I took exams on Sunday. I joined on Monday. I did not study. But, I did not look at the answer. I did not pass any exams. I did not pass any papers. When I returned, I had to decide whether I had to continue working in Neethi. If I am going to seriously consider civil services, it requires a lot of focused effort. Then, I chose to quit Neethi. In October, I took notice in November and quit in December. I moved to Trivandrum in January. In January, now, it has been a roller coaster. But, I think, more than happiness, it is relief. I am glad that the efforts paid off. I have always thought that the opportunity cost to give up was very high. So, when I was studying, my table was always in Neethi. Every day, I would see the same way. If I did not study, it would be a problem. That has been my journey. Opportunity cost is something I want to take up later. UPSC is an exam where there is a huge opportunity cost. We will come to that. Malavika, your story of UPSC. As you said, it was my first civil service. On Monday, when I was in the car, I told my parents, I will study in 5th grade. I will write an exam. Then, I will write an exam. My father told me, I have an exam. I will get a job and work as IAS. I said, I will go and read a newspaper. I did not touch the newspaper. This was the beginning. My school was a senior student. At that time, I understood everything. I went to college. My mother is a doctor. I decided not to go to MBBS. I thought I was an engineer. I am a chemical engineer. After that, when I was in the first year, I was told that I will go to UPSC and then I will go to UPSC. It was a clear track for me. After a while, I understood that I should not go to a chemical engineer. After that, I decided to go to M.B.A. After a third year, I went to M.B.A. Last year, I had an internship. I did not organize J.P. because I wanted to go to M.B.A. After that, I started to work as an engineer. Then I started acting in M.B.A. I had an internship. I started to work as an engineer to start acting in M.B.A. I did not want to go to M.B.A. And then I told my husband I will go to M.B.A. And he attended M.B.A. To go to the MBS and I was telling him that I will go to M.B.A. I was very passionate and very focused on acting. ᵗ ᵗᵗᵗᵗᵗᵈ ᵗᵗᵈᵗᵈᵈ ᵒᵃᵇᵃ! ᵁ ᵀἆᵐᵃᵌ� slang- ᵀἅ ᵒᵃᴛ�公᾽ ᵗᵈ� someᵃᵃᵃᵅIVᶎᵉ ᶀarahw- ᵗᵃᵃᵃᵌᶎᵃ a ᶁᶜᵃᵃᵃᵃ ᵗᵇᵃᵃᵃᵉ ᶀarahw-Through visionary accepting 신ต Deadpool-ió,óníd ალბვ,႘ლლვლლგ,რრტალლ,რმვვ჋, ·ვუბიუთ, гор჌ეეეი,ankლnik ო჎ლაფლლგემლლებლ,იეეიეღ,  plutonic pressure ಮ ಧಾತಿಟ್ಶೂ Purd� ಸುಬಿಿ ಕಾ ಸು ಸ್ನಿಂ೉ಡcedeಾಶ್ರೆ ಮು ಸಿಹ್ಲ ಸಿಲ ಂಿಕಿ ನೀಗರರಿಟೆ ಮೆ ಸು ಮಾಗಲಿ ವಾಿಗಲ ಮೂಪೆಟ್ತಿಂದಾ ಹಿ ಕರ್ನ prendreಱ್ ಸ್ರ್ನಿನ Dann week is not yet I didn't know what to do. I didn't do any other background. But after that failure, I got a mental clarity. I didn't look at conventional strategies or attempts. I felt that I should learn something. I did a lot of work out of that. For example, I read a bit more of medieval history. After that, I was more comfortable with the previous ones. After that, I came to a floor and wrote a book. In that book, I cleared it. It's a one minute rank appire service. After that, I got a rank improvement. Then, I got an eco level. I got 172 as a fifth attempt. I don't think it's a big story. After graduation, I don't think it's a good idea. I'm a doctor for graduation. I studied at Kottai Medical College. After graduation, I thought it would be a good idea. After that, I got an option to work in a field. That's what I asked. Someone told me that it's a good idea. There was a friend named Aims. He cleared the romance scene. I said, let's do one or two attempts. He said he can do it. After that, I got a rank improvement. After that, I got an eco level. After that, I cleared the thesis. After that, I got a deletion. He said, let's do two attempts. After that, I got a deletion. We had a feeling that we were accomplished. We crushed all the exams. We will reach the bottom. I didn't know about the third attempt. I was very depressed. Even when I was trying to do a dp in WhatsApp, I was sad. Someone asked me what to do. Of course, friends are well accomplished. I did PG. Many of them are DMs. They have been 5 years. After the fourth attempt, it was my attempt. It was the fifth attempt. It was a hard break. I tried my best. At that time, I was in the option of Malayalam. I missed both of them. The last attempt was very cool. There is nothing more to say. There is nothing more to say. We had both. We were in 2020. She was there. They were very supportive. I was very happy. I started doing football. I liked Malayalam movies. I liked football. I gave the attempt in peace. I had a list to write. Luckily, there was a factor. As I said before, I was very concerned. My friend's marriage was the biggest problem. If the result was negative, I couldn't go. I couldn't face anyone. I couldn't go to the wedding. After that, I went to WhatsApp. Everyone was asking me. I was in WhatsApp for a long time. I was there for a long time. I was very passive. I was very grateful to them. Always. As I said before, when the exam fails, people will think about me. They will think about me. I am a doctor. I studied in Kottam Medical. I couldn't clear the exam. This is a thought of many. Many say that they are successful. In 12th grade, they are a high achiever. All of a sudden, they will think about me. I think you work in psychology also. Yes. You have studied psychology. How can you deal with this pressure? You have given six attempts. You have went through this. How do you feel? How do you break those people? How did you do it? Don't take it as a matter of life. It is an exam with a high peer. The exam is tough. The competition is intense. The competition is intense. If you do a few things in two attempts, then we will know. If I think about it, then I can figure out the first attempt. If I think about it, then I can figure out the first attempt. If I think about it, then it is a proper way. If you think about it, then you can think of other things.. You can take guidance in that way. You should do stress well. The first attempt was that there is no tension. It was so intense. I enjoyed the process of doing it. I would like to say that this is an important point. We learn many things. A big advantage is that we are conscious of ഍്എകാ്ടുഎ, അംണിന്യിംണാുഎ. അംണിനായികാുഎ. ജിഎയിംോടികാതേന്യായാു. നിമായാഒാമാതാനിു� feedിനിയാചികാുക്ാകു. you should be environmentally aware, you should be politically conscious, economically aware that is the reason why exams are so difficult they want you to actually be all these things so enjoy the process after 2 years, my stress is reduced there is a backup 2-3 attempts are required for a backup we all listen to the stories of the topers but there is a mistake we are really grateful because we are not able to get the items of the top we are not able to get the items of the top we are not able to get the items of the top I will give you 3 attempts and give you a backup if you have a backup, you can go ahead without any stress plan B is a must plan B is a must because we are demotivating it is not demotivation, it is a reality that is what I think yes, I think happiness is a journey it is not a destination that is the most important thing we have to identify in UPSC journey because we are all here today but what we are doing here today is our journey it could be 6 years for you or 1 year for somebody else we are enjoying the journey I have a life instance I prepared a 2nd attempt because of Covid, I was forced to sit at home I am not sitting there I like to study outside I like to interact with people I was mentally caged in that attempt I had a lot of effort from GS I got good marks but I was not able to clear CSAT that was a big hit for me because in that attempt I studied a lot of things about life even now I am carrying it forward with me one thing was that I took a small grant that year to get CSAT so I thought what kind of grant I am taking in my life starting with my parents because my parents are always with me and my only child they are always with me they are very good friends or the privileges we have all of us are privileged all of that I started to be grateful I started to show gratitude not just to the things that we usually take I will be happy if I can be energetic I started to find pleasure I started to find pleasure in that attempt because I understood that if I can neglect the things like CSAT I don't know what will happen in my life I don't enjoy or neglect that really changed it for me that is why this quote is important to me happiness is a journey it is not a destination and even today I think it is a journey that was one thing CSAT taught me a big thing happiness is a journey and this is what I am saying UPSC is not happiness because 10 years down the line UPSC all in a rank one I don't know where it is there is a journey ahead yesterday we said there is a transverse coming so what did you say they are very happy they are very happy they are very happy they are very happy I am on the other side of UPSC I am on the other side of UPSC when I came in 2018 I was very stuck looking back now 5 years down the line I am very happy I am very happy I am not clear this exam I am doing a lot of things which officers cannot do this journey is what is important happiness is subjective it is impossible to find happiness outside it should be found inside we have to find it when we come to civil we find happiness in small things I think in this journey we will definitely fail in all the tests on a daily basis you are demotivated but in our demotivation even in small things there are smaller victories that we can celebrate things as simple as we get a mark or we have studied for half an hour these smaller things are big achievements cumulatively small things over a period of one year or even more our learning curve is improving maybe at a micro scale we don't understand it but when we look back don't we think that small things are cumulatively created I think I equated my worth or my merit with my results it is tangible results it is a wrong thing I am not improving as a person but if we get the result or if we see the result it is worth but that may not be the case how many years have you been writing an article we are doing one thing when you fail you can do UPSC you can do it don't sing a question you can do it you can do it you can do it it is a good point I will stop it I will do it with aspirin I will do it even if we look at its own state we will see the drawbacks I have accepted it I have gone through some talks UPSC dumb We will not face their identity crisis if they are students then you won't get any help what is your failure when you see the failure you should correct it I am not concerned about the society We can move forward, but what will others think? This is a very silly question. How are you? How are you? How are you? What are you doing? How are you? How are you? There is a logic... Nobody cares about us. Nobody cares about us too. We are the people who care about us. We don't care about our family's circumstances.heus because there are many uncontrollable and uncontrollable factors in our hands so if we work in these uncontrollable factors, we get a lot of confidence when I take this attempt, even if I don't get it, I am very happy I had to become a kind of person I was able to become that person I am meeting my daily targets I feel like I am getting to know some things I feel like I am getting to know some depth or if I take this strategy forward in the future or if I do this, I will improve but I think that confidence is our value I don't know what my next person will think about me because nobody can see growth especially the growth in the past no one can see it we can only see it as a number in this list but this growth has come till the time it doesn't come maybe more than us it is relative to us so the focus is on the controllables you focus on how we are doing how much effort we are taking whether we are looking for our body or mind if everything is ticked if you are going by your goals or if we are doing small steps towards our goals I think we should be happy there will be a dissatisfaction that is correct it was my hobby, my voice system I had used it I have followed Zen Buddhism all the philosophies are here take care of the small things I think whether you clear UPSC or not ultimately we all become philosophers somewhere that is an intangible thing we are going to study the same thing like Buddha, last year but the fact is we know a lot of things that we don't know we had issues with this or I did it well we sometimes appreciate sometimes criticize we have to push the limits we have to push the limits we have to push the limits I have asked some kids how long do we study I always said we cannot study for 10 hours it will be for the first time then it will be for the second time then some people will try to study for 4 hours in the morning I am a person who does it I always say that I started studying for 4 hours then I started studying for 6 hours then 6 hours we push the limits we push the efforts and ultimately I think we all come out of it by sir the other thing we are talking about is that I have a dialogue with Dhulkar Sanman he says that something is black UPSC somewhere is a drug because if you don't get films you can write for the second time if you have 5th time service you can write for the 6th time even if you write for the first time you have to get IAS this is called exit exit is a difficult process you can do it in 2-3 ways 1. you have to say the service 2. you have to be an attempt exhaust 3. you have to push 4. you have to stop 5. you have to think about the plan 6. you need a lot of guts so what is your take on this this opportunity cost of UPSC your prime age 20's you are spending for the preparation it makes us a better person we are spending a large amount of our 20's in this exam process so how what is your take on this plan B how to approach plan B when should we think about a plan B what is your take on this this is my best person to talk about this this is my best person to talk about this this is my first 2 attempts even if you don't have a plan B I think it's okay I don't think about investing I started with plan B I started with plan B I started with teaching I started with teaching I had written J.R.F so that if you don't have this you can go there and study I always have this trend when I started preparing there are some misleading isn't it a person specific some people don't have plan B some people work well in pressure some people are happy without pressure some people are looking for 1 or 2 attempts as I said there is a randomness in this exam there is a thing should fall in place some people don't do it correctly some people don't do it correctly some people don't have a list but some people don't have a list that's what we can say that's why I think after 1 or 2 attempts it's good to have a plan B if you have plan B I had less stress because I didn't decide if I like it I decided to go that's why I had less stress otherwise I would have worked like this you would have got married then we are very lucky we are very lucky at home financially there is a support of friends it's very important unfortunately women are facing this problem when you get older you can drop out I have seen this there are so many factors after 2 years if you have a plan B it will be easy I didn't tell you that let it be but after 2 or 8 attempts it's good again I want to discuss about the plan B I have said go for higher studies in the Tissue Baller Institute because we are already moulded for that and then there is international civil service Indian civil service U.N. World Bank Baller organizations also we can try opportunities are empty then we have to go for higher studies you can give advice because I am sure that a lot of people who are in their 4th attempt would be listening to this interview you can go for that this will be my plan B I always feel that everyone who is watching this is preparing you need a sense of confidence about yourself without self-belief no one will start UPSC preparation they can change the country in that way there are so many openings in the service entrepreneurship is the way forward to make jobs inside the country they are highly efficient we can't see productivity we can see that everyone who is in UPSC is more than that productivity freaks if there is no leadership position or any entrepreneurship even in Kerala I see it the people who are in UPSC start each and every venture and that is helping us out and also the society when we see some areas of Trivandrum changing it is economic activity economic activity is what we need outside also there are so many opportunities entrepreneurship is a good plan B my plan B was that I think we need to take more youngsters in this preparation we can take good decisions I believe if we take that decision we can benefit a huge crowd in public sphere I can talk about public policy your experience also have you studied in this? no after my BA I did a fellowship called legislative assistant to a member of parliament I was a one year fellowship I am a lamp I am a a research assistant of a Rajasabha MP that is the first the plan B fellowship is definitely a great opportunity I think I am 25 25 years old I was 20 I did BA immediately so that gives you like a first hand gallery to make you understand to experience to contribute if you have a young aspirants this is a very personal opinion but I strongly believe that if we have some kind of a work experience that will really help in UPSC preparation also it helps me a lot so this is not just a fellowship there are so many fellowships like for a one year, eleven month they are looking for people to do hands on job to do field work grass roots and work so many opportunities teach for India these are the very popular ones small fellowships for fresh graduates I always suggest this is like a good experience but it is immense after that we start UPSC our field our ground level experience there is so much that you can draw there are so many things so that would be one thing other than that we learn economics politics culture so many things policies and government ministry schemes people who study so deeply there is a good analysis opinions public policy I think it is a great plan UPSC aspirant will enjoy doing public policy also it is an overlap the only difference is when one you work within the system in the other you work from outside the system but there are so many opportunities think tanks and research organizations for example two days back I met a friend from TIS she is a batch mate, she is from Bihar and she holds a national level position in Kudumbashree she was telling me she was in Arunachal border she was in Chattisgarh, Jharkand, UP after that she has done her field work but now since she is in a national level position she deals with ministries national resource organizations policies schemes and expanding brainstorming women empowerment there are so many opportunities brainstorming strategizing implementing a position those are great positions to be in that too without UPSC doing the same sense of satisfaction work experience she was a batch mate in social work specializing in women centered practices TIS I think they are very open we need to answer the question well on the basis of that these fellowships internships mostly there is an interview but they are not looking at your knowledge or anything they are just looking at your passion to contribute background your academics don't matter nothing matters you should be willing to get your hands dirty there are so many opportunities as you can intern in places in public policy there are so many another plan is pursuing masters master in MA public policy social work I did social work specialization community organization development practices it is very generic social entrepreneurship livelihood management all that I enjoy working it is a sphere I think these are a few have you ever thought about international civil service how to apply all these organizations how is it possible international civil services international organizations also work very closely with the government even I know Kerala state government GIZ climate change environment organization they have a lot of projects in Kerala there are policy roles there are implementation roles which open up there are think tanks they keep opening up vacancies there are so many consultants only higher as consultants master in MA special work experience you can always apply as a young professional college
