Talk:Daya Shankar (IRS officer)

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (daya shankar irs is a respectable irs officer.he is the only officer who could cathch the deadly don mr dawood ibrahim.Today, he teaches international business and business strategy at Deakin University, Australia. He has published extensively on the effect of the TRIPS Agreement on Developing Countries. I had the good fortune to meet the 'nayak' of this column a few years back when he was in New Delhi to address the industry and trade on implications of TRIPs Agreement on developing countries like India. Although our talks veered around his subject of research but I was indeed in awe of his simplicity, enviable human qualities and also the qualities which make an ordinary officer extraordinary and legendary.

Another least known fact, which reflects his extraordinary commitment to the call of his duty is his 'BIG NO' to a neat sum of Rs 22 lakh which has been standing against his name as 'reward money'. Netizens may recall that upto certain levels, officers in the preventive formations are offered 'Reward' by the Department for having made not only good cases but also good recoveries. Over a period of time, the CBEC has sanctioned as much as Rs 22 lakh as reward money to him besides a lot more which has not been sanctioned as he said NO. Since mid-80s this sum has multiplied itself several times but our 'nayak' has politely declined to accept it as he thinks that accepting such reward goes against his commitment to respond to the call of his duty under all circumstances.finance minister has also given him the tag of a brave and upright officer.

I think the people need to know about him and reading about him in wikipeida will be an added advantage) --Harishrawat11 (talk) 15:01, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
