officers.

different and difficult situations with patience cool and calm, yet managed to produce an efficient and accurate
book.
Adding more to his list of praises, he said it is rare for a
minister to write such a book and serving as a member of the Indian
Administrative Service. In short he wanted to explain how difficult it is to
become a writer and be remembered as an intellectual apart from his
administrative capabilities and long stint in government service, he said.
Mehrishi answered Nirmal Singh Lotus Green’s question ,
saying that it is a comprehensive compendium of all data and facts related to
India.
"The book is an honest endeavour on my behalf to
provide a strong resource for civil services preparations with wide ranging
study materials," he said.
Further, the profile of Mehrishi was discussed, he was the
1978 batch IAS officer, who was the only officer to take three posts chief
secretary of a state, as well as finance and home secretary in the central
government. Mehrishi’s book will definitely be helpful to the people who will
be taking the exam this year, as it is well-revised.
Being an all-rounder "Mehrishi manages to play golf in
the morning, runs the country as union home secretary during the day and still
manages to write a book. It shows his unique personality," the Home
Minster said.
