Meet the Manipur IAS officer who built a 100 km road through crowdfunding
Miracle Man in Manipur, IAS officer
Armstrong Pame s first claim to fame was when he got a 100 km stretch of road constructed in the state in 2012, and this, without any help from the government.
Since then, Armstrong has kept busy with his many initiatives, a recent being when he decided to invite 10 students from fifth to tenth standard for dinner every week to give them a glimpse in the life of an IAS officer. The students are selected from a number of schools in the district.
In 2012, Armstrong was nominated for the CNN-IBN Indian of the Year Award in the Public Service Category. He was conferred with India s Most Eminent IAS Officer Award in 2015.
