AYUSH secretary who are against AYUSH…,very worst person in that position.MBBS doctor who is head of AYUSH,what a irony.
The worst person in that position. I hope the Kerala government may give her another suitable opportunity to her.
IAS is always a respected and appreciated profession in India. It is not an easy task to clear the IAS exams. It is good to hear about the wedding of Dr. Sharmila and Mary Jospeh IAS. When a person gets that IAS status, it is sure he is appreciated to the next level.
