Retired IAS Officer Questions Deputy Collector Promotion Process

This story is about a retired government officer named Kavindra Kiyawat.

He once held a very high job in India called an IAS officer.

He saw a problem with how some government workers were being promoted.

These workers, called deputy collectors, hoped to move up to a higher rank.

A promotion means getting a bigger job with more responsibility.

The government department in charge did not count all of their work time.

It left out the time they spent working as 'in-charge' deputy collectors.

Mr. Kiyawat believes that work time should count toward promotion.

He told the officers to write letters to the government about this.

His message started a big discussion among the officers.
