Divya Mittal, a 13-year IAS officer, recently resigned — not because she failed, but because she felt something deeper.

Her words: "I was a fool to think I had come to give something. The truth is, I received the most." That’s not just humility; it’s the core of ethical governance. For UPSC aspirants, this isn’t just a resignation. It’s a mirror. What does it mean to serve? Is it following rules... or feeling the weight of a child’s dry tap? Mittal didn’t just implement Jal Jeevan Mission; she chased water to Lahuria Dah village until it flowed. That’s not bureaucracy. That’s empathy in action. Ethics isn’t about checkboxes. It’s about seeing the person behind the file. Aristotle said virtue is a habit; not one good act, but a way of being. So ask yourself: Are you preparing to fill a post... or to carry its purpose? One officer can’t fix everything. But one officer can remind us why we serve. And that’s enough to change everything.
