Imphal, October 24 2012:
At the time when no employee opts to be posted in Manipur, adviser to Chief Minister on Power and Infrastructure, Jarnail Singh has said he works in the State with only Re 1 salary as a demonstration that Manipur is the best place to be posted.
In a one-to-one with The Sangai Express, former Chief Secretary of the State Jarnail Singh, who is now advisor to the CM on Power and Infrastructure, articulated that Manipur is one of the best places to be posted in.
"My career has been shaped in Manipur and as such I want to work for the betterment of the State," conveyed Jarnail Singh, who was also DoNER Secretary before serving as a Joint Secretary in the PMO.
Jarnail said he was more elated to be the CM adviser on Power and Infrastructure than serving as an IAS officer in the State for more than 20 years.
When The Sangai Express queried why he came here to earn Rs 1 per month when his service has been in high demand in other establishments, Jarnail replied, "I am retired from service now.
Even then I want to contribute something for the development and welfare of the State" .
He said he wanted to give back what he had for the welfare of the State.
He said he received the Prime Minister Achievement Award during his stint in the State.
Jarnail Singh has established a Consultancy Service after his retirement from service.
