Dr Raju Narayana Swamy IAS wins Homi Bhabha Fellowship
Dr Raju Narayana Swamy, an Indian IAS official and Kerala's anti-corruption crusader, has been awarded the prestigious Homi Bhabha Fellowship. Dr Swamy, who is on a brief visit to Kuwait currently, was intimated yesterday about the decision of the council to award him a Homi Bhabha Fellowship.
Dr Swamy has a post graduate certificate in Cyber Law, a PG Diploma in Environmental Law and a PG Diploma in Urban Environmental Management and Law from National Law University Delhi.
An honest bureaucrat with backbone, Dr Swamy became a crusader against corruption in Kerala who gave numerous headaches to corrupt politicians and government officials alike. He was the commissioner in the civil supplies department of Kerala until January 2013 before being removed for exposing corruption.
"The canker of corruption is unfortunately eating into the moral fabric of India. Need-based and greed-based corruptions have become the order of the day," Dr Swamy said. Dr Swamy was one of the three officers handpicked for the 'Operation Munnar' in 2007, which saw a number of unauthorized resorts being pulled down.
"I genuinely feel that it is the duty of the civil servants to fight corruption tooth and nail so that the 'tryst with destiny' does not turn into a tryst with destitution," he said. However, he is not complacent about the task he has undertaken. "I'm fully aware that I'm only a drop in an ocean and a cog in the hierarchy, but millions of drops do make an ocean," he said talking about his crusade against corruption.
