Lalu mantra for IAS, IPS probationers soon



PATNA: Railway minister Lalu Prasad will be going to Lal Bahadur Shastri Academy for Administration in Mussoorie after the conclusion of the ongoing Parliament session to give lessons to IAS and IPS probationers. "I will tell them about the U-turn in the railways and where the savings were made and how to manage resources," said Lalu stressing that he will have an interactive session with the IAS and IPS probationers. Lalu said managing resources was an important part of financial administration. "These IAS and IPS officers at one time of their career will be asked to play a key role in managing their resources," he said expressing the hope that his own experience in handling the railways might prove to be useful for the new recruits to all-India services. The spectacular financial success of the Indian Railways during last financial year has prompted the railways to set a target Rs 20,000 crore as profit for the year 2007-08. This has also resulted in Lalu being acknowledged as the new 'Management Guru' with some leading management institutes requesting him to deliver lectures to their faculty and students alike. Lalu, on the other hand, hdd recently admitted that while his graph as a successful railway minister was going up, his political fortunes in his home state had taken a dip.
