About Rai Mahimapat Ray, “Ray”:
My next guest on The One Percent Project is Rai Mahimatpat Ray. He is the District Magistrate, Collector & Deputy Commissioner of Ranchi, Jharkhand, India, Indian Administrative Service (IAS) - Government of India. A district magistrate is an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer who is the chief in charge of the administration and governance of a district in India. Ray is responsible for the well being and development of the 3.3M people living in Ranchi district, which has a diverse demographic spread across remote villages without developed roads or schools to upcoming cities where universities and businesses successfully thrive.
Our Conversation:
We kick this conversation off with Ray trying to understand the Indian Administrative Services, the progress, the challenges and the opportunities Indian have and how IAS officers like him are working to better the lives and mitigate the challenges an every day Indian faces. We also talk about the COVID situation in Ranchi and measures he has taken to keep the pandemic in control.
All views are personal and don’t represent the views of Govt. of India or Govt. of Jharkhand.
