Parents play an important role in anyone’s life, and they are the only ones who will genuinely worry about you. Therefore, according to him, everyone should pay due respect to their parents and respect them for the care and love they provided us.
Special Events in His Career
When the interviewer asked him about an event in his career that is of great honour.
He responded that police officers do five to six things in a year, which is newsworthy and makes him a hero.
But instead of doing two to three jobs in a year, Sunil Kumar Singh made strategy and tried to keep trying to work as a good police officer 365 days in any way he maintained the law in order and fulfilled all his responsibilities carefully 365 years.
Lessons to be Taken
Being a Civil Servant is a status of prestige and reputation, but rather it is a responsibility.
A Responsibility to maintain the law and order of the country.
As an IPS officer, you should try to help the current citizens of India, as much as you can.
The status of police is not very good in the eyes of a normal citizen. They generally see the Police force as violent and brutal forces, who like to beat people.
But this is not the case, the Police force is there to protect citizens and to maintain law and order.
Therefore every police officer should try to demolish this prejudice, and maintain a new definition of Police Force.
Moreover, today’s youth are forgetting the importance of their parents. They are more career-oriented and forget about their parents. As they get older, they transfer them to the old age home.
But this is wrong, parents are the only people who love and care for you unconditionally.
