For IAS Aspirants
Read a good newspaper like ‘The Hindu' daily, says Asra Garg It was a feast of education ideas at ‘The Hindu Education Plus Career Counselling Fair 2012' held in Madurai on Saturday. Starting from the first session which was inaugurated by Superintendent of Police Asra Garg to the last session of psychometric test conducted by Chennai-based Bodhi, it was a jam packed auditorium thronged by anxious students and parents, particularly those who are waiting for the Plus Two results on May 22.
“The Hindu's intention to help and guide students about career options is laudable. This reputed newspaper has provided a very good opportunity to all of you to know about courses, colleges and careers,” Mr.Garg said in his inaugural address which focused on confidence building.
His appeal to the parents was not to force their children to study a particular course because becoming an engineer or a doctor or an IAS officer depends on person to person. “Students should not pursue a courseout of parents' compulsion and force,” he stressed.
“A boy or girl will be successful in a particularcourse only if he has a bent of mind for that. So, we should not compel the child to study this or that. Especially, the middle class parents should bear in mind that child's aptitude is more important,” the Superintendent of Police advised.
With regard to the Civil Services Examination, Mr.Garg said that it requires about seven or eight years of conscious and unconscious preparation. “Read a good newspaper like ‘The Hindu' and watch a goodnews channel. If you prepare meticulously, you will succeed,” he advised. Later, taking questions from students, Mr.Garg who had done engineering, underlined that success story comes only if something was done with passion and sincerity.
His optional subjects for the Civil Services were sociology and public administration.
“Don't choose optional subjects based on what people say. You have to take subjects which you feel confident about. Many doctorsand engineers succeeded in Civil Services by taking arts and science subjects,” the SP informed. Read full Article http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Madurai/article3436776.ece

Madurai Superintendent of Police Asra Garg became the first Indian Police Service (I.P.S.) officer to argue a case on his own without the assistance of Government advocates before the Madras High Court Bench here on Thursday.
Mr. Garg appeared in uniform before Justice B. Rajendran who was ceased of a writ petition filed by S. Subbulakshmi (45), president of Villoor Panchayat near here seeking a judicial enquiry into the incidents that led to police firing in the village on May 1 due to hostility between Dalits and Caste Hindus. Rejecting the petitioner's contention that Caste Hindus were not being allowed to enter the village after the police firing, the SP said: “Actually all villagers have been asked to come back. Everybody is invited… They were all told that there will not be any false arrest.” He claimed that most of the villagers had returned back. The SP also said that a Magisterial enquiry had already been ordered and anyone who has personal knowledge about the incidents could depose before the Revenue Divisional Officer concerned on May 25.
When Mr. Garg said that “there was indeed untouchability practised in the village,” the judge interfered to say: “No, no, no. First restore normalcy.” He then turned to the petitioner's counsel and said: “We are in the 21st century. We want peaceful existence forwhich your cooperation is also required.”
