Are there true leaders in the civil services who set examples for others?

This book aims to highlight about one such true leader - an institution builder and a great motivator - Mr M. Damodaran, a 1971 batch IAS officer of erstwhile Manipur-Tripura cadre. He has worked in the State Government of Tripura, in the Central Government in different capacities and has left an indelible mark in each institution he worked in. He was given the charge of Indian bank as CMD when the bank was in serious trouble and many experts were suggesting its closure. He was then assigned the responsibility to restructure UTI when the institution was in deep trouble due to various stock market scams. In every institution where Mr Damodaran worked, he is considered by many officers as their ""Role Model.""

It is a collection of the events, episodes and personal experiences of officers who have worked with Mr Damodaran and how he influenced their life and brought significant transformation in the institutions he worked with.
