A Minister directly telephoned him and ordered to return the forfeited Mr. Narayanaswamy articles to the house of the liquor baron. Narayanswamy politely replied that it is difficult. The minister replied that IIT Chennai, IAS officer. Narayanaswamy will suffer. (Secretary General Education, kerala) In his district it was a practice to collect crores of rupees for earthen bunds meant for poor farmers, but which were never constructed. A bill for rupees 8 crores came up On passing out from IIT Chennai Mr. Narayanaswamy before Narayanaswamy. He inspected the bund. He found was offered scholarship by the prestigious Massachusetts it very weak and said that he will pass the bill after the Institute of Technology, USA. He who came from a rainy season to ensure that the bund served the purpose. As middle class family believed that he had a moral obligation expected the earthen bund was too weak to stand the rain to give something in return for the lakhs of rupees the and it disappeared in the rain. But he created a lot of government spent on him as an IIT student. He had the enemies for saving 8 crores public money. intelligence and conviction to realize that this money came The net result of all such unholy activities was that he was also from the poorest of the poor - who pay up the excise asked to go on leave by the government.

So he decided to join IAS hoping he could do backbone - post him in the most powerless position to something for the people of this country. How many young teach him a lesson. men have the will power to resist such an offer from USA? Narayanaswamy did never look at IAS as a black money Since he found that nothing can be achieved for the people spinner as his later life bears testimony to this fact. if he continued with the State Service he opted for central service. But that too was denied on some technical ground.
