Full Circle: Assam Civil Servant Reflects on His Journey
In a heartwarming tale that has resonated with many online, Rubu Borah, an Assam Civil Service (ACS) officer, shared a poignant moment from his life. His recent post on X (formerly Twitter) showcased not just his professional role but also a deeply personal connection to the community he serves.
Borah posted a photo of himself inspecting projects under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA), a program aimed at providing employment to rural households. What makes this moment particularly special is that Borah’s father was once a worker under the same scheme.
“Full circle! Once my father was an MGNREGA worker. Now I’m humbled to inspect MGNREGA works as a civil servant. Grateful!” he wrote, encapsulating the essence of his journey from humble beginnings to a position of responsibility.
