1. In a polity bristling with "male skirts" and "impotent ideologies",a Woman and an Officer like Kiran Dhingra is a breath of fresh air holding out hope for the future of not only Goa but the Indian Union as well. By her quiet, purposive, unobstrutive, committed, steadfast adherence to the public weal Ms Dhingra has won the admiration and gratitude of the numerous knowledgeable citizens who are looking to a transparent, effective ,and result-oriented approach to the many problems that beset Goa and the Nation.This is in sublime contrast to the loudmouth louts that plague and bedevil the political discourse of Goa. 2.Ms Dhingra returns to DELHI WITH HER HEAD HELD HIGH AND UNBOWED. The fact that she deigned not to even visit her Chamber at the Secretariat on being posted out speaks volumes for the clinically uncluttered,timely, effective manner she conducted her work at all times. There was no need for her to "take out" material, replace files,cull papers, "set right" opinions etc etc on being transferred. She has gracefully and with dignity accepted her transfer as an incident of service without sabre rattling and vain protestations.As long as such Officers continue with the Indian Administrative Service there is still hope for the future. 3.Mr J P Singh the Additional Secretary in the Central Steel Ministry is known to have deported his "steel backbone" in previous assignments. The remedy prescribed by the Centre might well turn out to be worse than the cure sought by the current dispensation in the transfer of Ms Dhingra. Goans will have occassion to interact with Ms Dhingra in her future assignments. Till then Au Revoir Ms Dhingra. You have fought the battle well. You have discharged your duties in the best traditions of the IAS. Goans shall remember your contribution to its polity.
