Dear Mr. Bhatcar, Wonder if there is a centre in Goa for training Goans in the IAS exams, but if one reads the Competition success a book on how students prepare themselves, for this exam,one can get the picture of this IAS, what one must study , the objective papers and many other papers, there must be Goans who would like to pursue their studies in IAS but where is the guidance? it is very easy to question as to how many goans tried the IAS exam's?But at the same time one should also question, can we set up a centre in Goa for this exam?
Whether one may like it or not, GOANS are a special breed and it is an accepted fact atleast in the african countries , the rest of the countries i do not know. Again i would like to mention, on Goans holding influential positions overseas, who can establish whether the said Goans hold these key positions in Government offices or either they are businessmen or on work permit, or employed by some multinational firms, or are now citizens.
