‘Discipline at work is top priority’, Says Mysuru Taluk Tahsildar K.R. Rakshith
February 18, 2021
Being born and brought up in Mysuru, he considers himself fortunate to serve as Tahsildar of Mysuru taluk. Holding Gram Panchayat (GP) elections without any law and order problem and clearing rampant encroachment of Government lands were the two major challenges before this young and dynamic KAS Officer of 2014 batch, who took charge as Tahsildar on Jan. 6, 2020 in a politically sensitive region frequented by VIPs and VVIPs.
A native of Kiragandur in Mandya district, he says managing the visit of VVIPs as per protocol is the biggest responsibility. There are occasions when he has worked even on general holidays. Because of this, he has not been able to give more time to family. Meet 30-year-old K.R. Rakshith, who had a free-wheeling chat with Star of Mysore. Excerpts. Ed
