The Challenges and Opportunities in Civil Services

Civil services are considered to be anyone's dream job because of the kind of power, respect, as well as reputation that can be earned from this profession. But, who does not know that every valuable thing can be achieved through hard work and dedication? So, before you get delusional with the glorious aspects of this respected designation, let's look into some challenges that always come by while working for the civil services. Managing them with utmost confidence and honesty is also a civil services officer's duty.

So, here are some examples of challenges that you might get to face as a civil services officer:

• Since the civil service officers get to work with MP or MLA for the betterment of the society, there might be differences of opinions with the political parties. So, dealing with them without losing nerve is undoubtedly challenging.
• If you are dreaming to be a civil service officer, then start getting your mind prepared to live alone. Since transfers are so frequent in this profession that one might lose the chance to be with his or her family. The transfers can range into five to six times even in a year.

But the astonishing fact is that though there are so many challenges to face as a civil service officer, the grand opportunities that come by include-

After joining as a novice civil service officer, they get the opportunity to climb the hierarchy up to accomplish more achievements. The more the designation upraises, the more salary and facilities increase. You can work as an IAS or IPS officer which appears to be one of the most coveted posts in civil services. Other facilities enjoyed by the civil service officers include-

• Government accommodation with subsidy facility. The district-level officers get the best houses of India for accommodation than any other service in India

• Reimbursement of mobile, telephone and internet charges as well
• Considering the situation and if it demands, household assistance including cooks, gardeners etc are provided
• No charges while on-duty for staying in government hotels or bungalows

There's a saying that tells 'no pain, no gain'. Nothing more could be appropriate to describe the whole journey of a civil service officer. They get to face hundreds of challenges and they get to overcome thousands of hurdles to let the opportunities open for them.
