Dear Officer Trainee,
The Director of the Academy and the Course Team of the 89th Foundation Course extend a warm welcome
to you. Your entry to the serene environs of the Academy in Mussoorie marks the culmination of the long
and arduous journey that you have taken to clear the Civil Services examination. We at the Academy
congratulate you on your achievement.
As one phase of your life ends, you enter into another at the Academy from today. The Foundation
Course marks the beginning of a new journey for you in the service of this great nation. A new sense of
responsibility will be placed on your shoulders from now onwards. The Foundation Course seeks to usher
you into this new reality and aims to lay a strong foundation to enable you to tackle the challenges that lie
ahead.
The Foundation Course is one of the most memorable periods in the lives of Civil Servants. For one, it
celebrates your first brush with life in the Civil Services. But more importantly, officers remember with
great nostalgia the time spent in the Academy, in company of a new group of people who became their
life-long friends. The beautiful surroundings of Mussoorie add a sense of joy and mystique to the overall
training experience.
The Course would combine formal classroom teaching on a variety of subjects and several extra-curricular
activities, details of which are available further ahead in this manual. Initially, you may face a time
constraint in meeting stringent academic deadlines and participating in various activities associated with
the course. However, you will soon find yourself geared to achieving far more than you thought yourself
capable of. It is an early lesson in always striving to do more and to do it better. To sum it up in Mahatma
Gandhis words, Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is most important that you do it.
The Academy and the Course Team would endeavour to make your Course experience most stimulating,
joyful and memorable. We, in turn expect you to be a keen learner and an active participant. We are
confident that you would imbibe the core values of the Civil Services and set new benchmarks through
your demeanour and conduct.
We would urge you to go through the Course Manual in order to familiarize yourself with the broad
outlines of the course and the expectations of the Academy from you. We wish you good luck as you
embark on this journey to discover the various facets of life of a Civil Servant.
BEST WISHES

(Saurabh Jain) (Dr. Prem Singh) (Nidhi Sharma) (Abhishek Swami) (Manashvi Kumar)

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high,
Where knowledge is free,
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls,
Where words come out from the depth of truth,
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection,
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost it way into the dreary desert sand of
dead habit,
Where the mind lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action,
Into that heaven of freedom, my father, let my country awake.
- Rabindra Nath Tagore

COURSE DESIGN

The Foundation Course marks the transition
from the academic world of the college and
university to the structured system of
government. For most of the course
participants, the course will be their first
introduction to government and
governance, as also the role of government
in the society. The course is designed in a
manner so as to achieve the objectives
outlined by arranging a combination of
academic, outdoor, extra-curricular and co-
curricular activities. The Academy intends
to equip each of the Officer Trainees
(popularly brown as OTs) with a core set of
values, skills and knowledge that helps
them in their respective careers. They will
be provided training inputs useful in
understanding the basic concepts of
governance and rules and regulations,
necessary for effective performance in
government. Along with this, the OTs will be
assisted to acquire and develop personality
traits and requisite attitudes necessary for
effective functioning.

ACADEMIC INPUTS
Academic inputs would be provided in the following subjects. The number of sessions for
different subjects will approximately follow the pattern given below:-

30 40 45 45
Political Concepts and Law Public Management
Constitution of India Administration and Behavioral Sciences

30 25 20 20
Basic Economics for Information & Indian History Language
Administrators Communication Technology and Culture

It is a favourite belief of mine that no student ever attains very eminent success by
simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over
and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.
-Charles Kendall Adams

12
Inputs in Political Concepts and
Constitution of India will provide Officer
Trainees with a grounding in critical
concepts in political theory, both Western
and Indian. These concepts will help them
analyse and put in perspective
contemporary politics at all levels, with a
special focus on the Constitution of India as
a contract of social transformation and
nation-building. The Officer Trainees will be
able to develop insights into how politics is
organised in India, what drives policy
decisions, the concept of power elites,
interest groups and representative politics.
Theories of democracy and different forms
of government would also be examined
along with an overview of politics in
contemporary India, the major challenges
for growth and stability and the future of
Indian politics and democracy. They will be
provided insights into the debates in the
Constituent Assembly and the significant
influences in shaping the Constitution of
India. A perspective on normative concepts
which form an integral part of the
Constitution as part of the Preamble like
liberty, equality and justice will be
developed. The sessions would also provide
an understanding of judicial review,
fundamental rights, directive principles, civil
services, constitutional remedies and
working of the Constitution.
In Public Administration, you will be
introduced to the structure of bureaucracy,
the challenges facing it, basic administrative
skills, time management, delegation,
conduct of meetings, presentation skills,
report writing, office procedure and
exposure to different areas of governance
such as Social Sector, Rural Development,
Agriculture, Science and Technology,
Biotechnology, Public Distribution System,
Audit, Social Audit, Budgeting, Conduct
Rules, Disciplinary Proceedings, Disaster /
Crisis management, Role of NGOs and Civil
society organizations, Peoples participation
in governance etc. Special emphasis will be
given to innovations in Governance, e-
governance, Business Process Re-
engineering and Public-Private Partnership.
It will be our endeavour to sensitize the
Officer Trainees on issues relating to
gender, weaker sections, the differently-
abled and human elements in
administration. Debates organized by the
Society for Contemporary Affairs will form a
part of assessment under Public
Administration.
In Management, the primary emphasis is to
provide essential management tools and
techniques relevant to Civil Servants,
particularly in the initial years of service. A
module on Leadership skills will be
delivered which will enable Officer Trainees
to understand themselves to a greater
degree and be better prepared for the
leadership challenges that lie ahead. Apart
from the leadership and soft skills
component, other sessions will cover areas
such as Basic Principles of Management,
Interpretation of Data for Decision Making,
Project Management, Financial
Management and Public Private
Partnerships.
In Basic Economics for Administrators, you
would be exposed to basic tools of
13
economic analysis. Micro economics and
macro economics would be covered along
with an exposure to some of the
fundamental issues in different sectors of
our economy and the impact of
liberalization. There will be special emphasis
on issues relating to WTO, inclusive growth,
poverty etc.
There will be inputs on Indian History and
Culture with the objective of providing an
overview of broad currents of Indian history
with particular emphasis on those aspects
which have administrative significance and
promote understanding about the various
regional and cultural groups within the
country, as also an appreciation of the
various facets of Indian culture in a global
perspective.
As Information Technology has revolutionized
the world, hands-on experience on
computers would form a major input and
Officer Trainees would be exposed to the
latest in computer technology applications.
We shall try to ensure that by the end-of-
the-course, Officer Trainees with no prior
exposure to ICT (Information and
Communication Technology) also develop
adequate skills to handle computers
including typing skills and selected software
with familiarity and ease.
Language teaching is an important activity
of the Academy. It is compulsory for all
Officer Trainees to pass the Hindi test at the
end of the course. The Officer Trainees will
be split into two streams, i.e. those who are
exempted from attending Hindi classes and
those who are not. This categorization will
be done based on the proficiency test
conducted at the time of joining the course.
With the exception of those OTs who
have to compulsorily attend Hindi, all
others will have to opt for one of the
following languages:
Assamese, Bengali, Malayalam, Tamil,
Marathi, Urdu, Gujarati, Kannada,
Telugu, Manipuri, Oriya, Punjabi and
English.
All-India Service officers will have to opt
for the language of the state cadre they
are allotted to (in case such allotment is
made during foundation course). Other
Officer Trainees will have to opt for one
of the languages on offer.
The option chosen by the Officer
Trainees once will be final and no
request for change would be
entertained thereafter. Language will
be allotted based on the choice and
availability of slots.
Assessment of performance in
language will be a part of the overall
course assessment
SESSION TIMINGS AND LECTURE
GROUPS
Classes will be of 55 minutes duration both
in the forenoon and in the afternoon. The

Auditorium (SA). Half-group sessions will be
generally conducted in Sardar Patel Hall
(SPH) and Sampoornanand Auditorium (SA).
LEARNING MATERIAL

TREKKING
The trek is the high point of the Foundation
Course, both literally and metaphorically. It
exposes the Officer Trainees to the natural
grandeur and beauty of the Great
Himalayas. It provides one of the most
exhilarating experiences. It is a significant
learning experience in group dynamics and
brings out leadership qualities. The mighty
Himalayas evoke a sense of respect for
nature as well as humility in any person who
makes the attempt to know them. It is also
a test of endurance and courage.
The Trek commences on 4th October and
lasts till the 12th October, 2014 by which it
is expected that you would have developed
stronger bonds with each other, honed your
sense of adventure and emerged a more
confident person.

A detailed trek manual will be issued before
departure for the trek. Table below

Foundation Courses. Trek routes selected
for the 89th Foundation Course will be
circulated separately.
VILLAGE VISIT
The visit has the following objectives:
Assess the dynamics of the socio-
economic-political situation existing in a
village.
Describe the problems faced by the
rural people, especially the socially
disadvantaged sections and women.
Evaluate the spatial and temporal
changes that have occurred in the
village in terms of quality of life as a
result of Government and non-
Governmental interventions or with the
passage of time.
Evaluate the working of various village
level institutions, both formal and
informal in terms of participation and
effectiveness.
Recognize the importance of the need
to learn from the villagers in evolving
people-based solutions to their
problems.
Study the physical environment of the
village in relation to ecological
imbalances and vulnerability to
disasters.
The Officer Trainees will proceed for the
village visit from 1st November to 8th
November, 2014. The Village Visit is a major
component of the Foundation Course, not
only because it exposes the Officer Trainees
to the realities of rural India through a
structured study, but also because it
provides them the opportunity to stay in
villages and interact intensively with the
rural populace to understand and
appreciate their concerns and priorities.
They will be given inputs on Data Collection
& Analysis, Rural development programs,
Social sector, Role of NGOs, PRA techniques,
etc to equip them adequately for the visit.
Officer Trainees are expected to conduct a
survey in the village as per the guidelines
provided to them. In addition to this, Officer
Trainees will help villagers to prepare an
action plan on their villages.
On return, they will submit individual as
well as group reports of the activities,
findings and recommendations and make
group presentations, which will be graded
on both the data collected and the quality
of analysis. In addition to this, they will help
villagers to prepare an action plan on their
villages. Further, individual reports on
selected subjects are also expected. The
findings of the group will be subjected to
the scrutiny of their peers and faculty. The
group will also be required to defend its
report from questions posed by the faculty
and other Officer Trainees.
Do remember that the visit should not be
reduced to a passive exercise in data
gathering and sight-seeing. We expect you
to apply your minds to the problems you
see in the villages and suggest appropriate
strategies for their solution.
19
FETE
The Officer Trainees will organize and
participate in a Fete in which they will put
up stalls for eatables and recreation / games
on a commercial basis. This will test their
managerial and financial acumen, besides
being an enjoyable experience. The profits
from the Fete will be donated to the Society
for Social Service of the Academy which will
use the funds for various social service
activities. The sum raised by the 2013 batch
was Rs. 62,968. We hope that the batch of
2014 will perform even better.
BLOOD DONATION CAMP
A Blood Donation Camp will be organized in
December, 2014. All Officer Trainees are
exhorted to donate blood and contribute to
this humanitarian cause .
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
There will be a number of cultural activities
during the course. Eminent artistes would
be invited by the Academy to give
performances. Besides, the Officer Trainees
will also be required to put up a number of
cultural programs to provide them an
opportunity to showcase their talents. The
Officer Trainees will be given some
exposure in dramatics and will participate in
the A K Sinha Memorial One Act Play
competition. The cultural activities help to
nurture an appreciation of the richness and
diversity of Indian Culture.
The high point of the cultural activities is
the celebration of India Day. On this day,
the culture, customs, art & crafts and
cuisine of different regions of the country
will be put up on display - both through
outdoor and indoor activities by the Officer
Trainees. The event helps build pride in the
countrys rich national heritage besides
sensitizing the OTs to the rich traditions
from regions other than their own.
CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
The Academy has set up many Clubs and
20
Societies which organize various activities It is expected that every Officer Trainee

COUNSELLING
The Academy places a great deal of
importance upon Counselling as a mode of
interaction between the faculty and the
respective counsellees. The Counsellor is a
friend and a guide, who is genuinely
concerned about the individual needs of the
Officer Trainees.
Each Trainee is attached to a Counsellor for
closer interaction, facilitation of training and
advice on personal matters. OTs will be
divided into counsellor groups and each
group will be allotted to a Counsellor/Faculty
associate. Formal counsellor group meetings
will be scheduled in the timetable. The
trainees are expected to remain in close
association with their Counsellor and
establish an effective rapport. This will
enable the Counsellor to give individual
attention to each of her / his counsellees.
Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.

CONDUCT

We believe that punctuality forms the basic fulcrum around which discipline
revolves. It is expected that you will reach the venue of any scheduled event,
academic or otherwise, five minutes ahead of time and will be seated in your
PUNCTUALITY
allotted place-position at least two minutes before the event. This is our
foremost expectation from you and we hope that you will not give us any
occasion to remind you of it during the course.

The Academy expects the highest standards of behaviour and decorum

befitting an officer from each Officer Trainee - both inside and outside the
Academy. We expect you to be courteous and well-mannered towards each
BEHAVIOUR
other, with Academy staff and with the faculty. Officer Trainees must ensure
that their behaviour towards Officer Trainees of the opposite sex is beyond
reproach.

This is your course. What you get out of it depends a lot on what you put
into it. The Course Team would like you to participate fully in all the activities
PARTICIPATION that make the Course. When you participate in classroom discussions, we
expect you to be polite and considerate to all others present.

As civil servants, a strict code of conduct and norms of behaviour bind each of
us. We expect you to follow the code of conduct and these accepted norms
in letter and spirit and set the highest standards for yourselves. Indiscipline,
DISCIPLINE lack of punctuality, discourteous behavior, violation of course guidelines and
inappropriate conduct will invite disciplinary measures.

ATTIRE We expect you to be appropriately attired for every occasion.

Above all, we expect Officer Trainees to behave like mature individuals. A

mature person does not indulge in deviant or self-destructive behavior. He
does not burn up in anxiety. He neither resents authority nor does he become
MATURITY overbearing when he is himself in a position of power. In short, mature
CREATIVITY & persons are balanced people who are an asset to any organization. Creativity
ENDEAVOUR is that spark which improves all human endeavour, and makes that critical
difference between the great and merely good. We hope that you will
contribute creatively to all activities and raise the standard of the course.
Above all, an officer is expected to excel and constantly strive towards setting
higher benchmarks.

24
 Character is, doing the right thing when no one is looking.
SHISHTACHAR (ETIQUETTE)
Good manners and etiquette lend
confidence and charm to an officer's
personality. They help smoothen the sharp
edges of authority and ease the course of
personal relations. The principles underlying
the decorum and behaviour suggested in
the following pages are courtesy, politeness
and consideration for others.
The issues covered are important to an
officer's life, both during his/ her probation
and in the later stages of his/ her career. A
major part of Shishtachar is of immediate
relevance for later stages in the career.
GENERAL CONDUCT
At no time or occasion should an
Officer Trainee conduct herself /
himself in a manner not befitting an
officer.
Officer Trainees are expected to treat
each other politely and with due
regard to decency and courtesy.
Consideration for the feelings of
others should be a dominant concern.
This becomes even more important
during outdoor programmes like the
trek and the village visits. Conduct on
these occasions should be such so as
to instill confidence and trust amongst
each other.
When dealing with subordinates
special care should be taken to ensure
politeness. This is especially true in
your dealings with Mess staff, room
bearers and non-teaching staff of the
Academy.
Officer-like behaviour should be
maintained outside the Academy as
well, in dealing with shopkeepers, etc
and the public at large.
Residence in the Campus is compulsory;
spouses, friends or relatives of the
Officer Trainees will not be permitted
to stay on Campus under any
circumstances. However OTs can invite
their families during the Valedictory
Programme and they will be provided
accommodation, subject to availability.
Any violation of this will be considered
as an act of gross indiscipline.
Keeping or consuming alcoholic drinks
in the Hostel rooms is strictly
prohibited. Misconduct in an
inebriated state will result in expulsion
from the Course and action under
Conduct rules.
Smoking is prohibited in the academy
premises.
Officer Trainees are not permitted to
keep private vehicles in the Academy.
Possession of personal firearms is
strictly prohibited on campus.
Officer Trainees should not play loud
music in their rooms or speak loudly in
lounges or the corridors.
Academy places great importance on
intellectual integrity and ethical
conduct. Any dereliction during
examination, quizzes and written
assignments will have serious
25
 Manners easily and rapidly mature into morals
consequences.
Redressal of grievances, if any, should
be sought within the Academy. A direct
representation to the Ministries of the
Government of India or any authority
outside the Academy, without going
through the proper channel, would be
treated as insubordination and
violation of Conduct Rules.
CONDUCT IN CLASS
Punctuality and decorum is to be
maintained for all sessions / events
academic or non academic.
Officer Trainees should enter the
classroom and take their allotted seats
5 minutes prior to the time designated
for the commencement of the lecture.
Attendance will be noted according to
the seating arrangement.
Officer Trainees are expected to be
attentive and conduct themselves with
due regard for the feelings of the
lecturer and the fellow Officer
Trainees. Questions addressed to
faculty members / guest speakers
should be clear, precise and polite.
Please stand up when asking a
question. Officer Trainees must
remember that guest faculty are
honoured guests and their dignity
should be upheld under all
circumstances.
Talking or whispering during a lecture
not only disturbs the speakers but
other Officer Trainees also. Effective
listening is an art and essential as a
matter of courtesy to the speaker as
- Horace Mann
well as your colleagues. Remember,
there is nothing that cannot wait till
the end of the class.
The Academy encourages freedom of
expression of diverse viewpoints. Alert
and active participation in class room
sessions is encouraged and expected.
However, politeness in discussions is a
hallmark of an officer. You are expected
to listen carefully to the views of others
and raise your hand to be called upon
by the presiding officer, before making
any point of your own.
The posture adopted while sitting in
the classroom is extremely important.
One should sit with the back upright,
without slouching in the chair, either
to the front or to the back. Ones arms
should not be crossed behind ones
head while sitting. This is considered
extremely impolite and uncivilized.
While applauding guest speakers,
thumping on the table should not be
done as this is not becoming of a Civil
Servant. One should clap with hands
only.
When a lecturer takes classes, Officer
Trainees are expected to remain
standing after the lecture concludes till
the speaker leaves the class.
CONDUCT IN HOSTELS
Officer Trainees are expected to
behave decently in the hostels at all
times. Shouting, loud music, noisy
parties / revelry must be avoided as it
is a source of inconvenience and
nuisance to others. As a consideration
26
 to other residents in the hostels, music
after 2200 hrs is be heard only through
ear-phones.
Keeping or consuming alcohol in the
hostels is strictly prohibited.
Inebriated conduct would invite
disciplinary action.
IDENTITY CARDS
Officer Trainees are issued identity
cards for the duration of the course.
This identity card has to be carried by
the Officer Trainees at all times, both
within and outside the campus. The ID
cards will also serve as lapel cards.
ID cards must be clipped on to shirts,
pullovers, jackets or sarees, as the case
may be. It is compulsory to display the
cards during working hours, in classes,
in the Mess and on all formal occasions.
MESS ETIQUETTE
Every Officer Trainee is a host. You are
expected to be present 10 minutes
before the guests arrive to receive
them and to see that no guest is left
unattended to. Move around freely
and look after the guests. Do not leave
the mess until after all the guests have
left.
Officer Trainees appointed as Escort
Officers to guests or Faculty Members
and their spouses should receive their
guests at the entrance and remain in
attendance throughout. Escort
Officers are expected to look after
their guests and should introduce
them to other Officer Trainees and
faculty members if the guests have not
met them earlier. On conclusion of the
meal, Escort Officers are expected to
see their guests off. During formal
dining, the Escort must make polite
conversation with his/ her guest.
Do not monopolize the senior guest or
leave him/her abruptly. Request to be
excused when you leave him/her.
Unless on the Mess Committee, Officer
Trainees have no authority to
reprimand a Mess employee. Even
office-bearers on the Mess Committee
are not to use intemperate language or
conduct themselves in a manner not
befitting an officer. They can report
matters needing attention to the
President, Secretary or a member of
the Mess Committee. While making
any complaint do not use intemperate
language.
Courtesy and consideration is to be
shown to all the colleagues during
meals. Due consideration is to be paid
to correct table manners.
CONDUCT IN THE LOUNGE
When you enter the lounge, if a lady or
a senior staff member is present,
please greet them appropriately.
When a lady or a senior staff member
or a Mess Guest enters the lounge, you

 should stand up and greet him/her.
You need not be rigid in your

Do not sit in the lounge with your legs
up on a table or chair.
Do not fail to wish staff members, their
spouses or senior guests.

If you are sitting near a fan or in front
of the fire, when a senior staff member

your seat to him or her.
Do not gossip about other people. It is
said: "Cultured people talk about
ideas, where uncultured people talk
about persons".

LEAVE AND ABSENCE
All course activities, including classes,
PT and extra curricular activities
deemed compulsory by the Course
Team constitute official duty for the
course participants. No Officer Trainee
shall absent himself/ herself from any
of these activities.
Course activities have been designed in
a seamless manner without the
duration of a gap in between.
Therefore, it would not be possible to
grant any leave during the course.
Requests for leave will not be
entertained. If any Trainee is not in a
position to attend a session due to
medical reasons, he/she should take
prior permission and submit application
for medical leave to ACC Incharge
- Anthony Robbins
Discipline.
All Officer Trainees are required to
reside on Campus during the entire
duration of the Foundation Course. No
Officer Trainee shall leave the
Municipal limits of Mussoorie without
obtaining prior written permission from
the course authorities, even on
holidays or weekends.
PENALTIES
We expect full participation by the
Trainees in all activities of the course.
Any absence without explicit
permission would be treated as
"unauthorized absence from duty" and
will be dealt with as per rules. The
range of penalties (which may be
imposed), may be either in the form of
negative marking, as prescribed, or
under the Conduct Rules relating to
Conduct and Discipline, or both. We
sincerely hope that no such occasion
would arise, which would compel us to
resort to such drastic measures.
At any point of time during the course,
if any Trainee indulges in any act of
misconduct or indiscipline, the course
authorities may relieve him/ her from
the course without any notice and a
report to the controlling Ministry will
be sent to that effect.
In the interest of conservation of
electricity, OTs are expected to switch
off all the electrical appliances and
lights, whenever they leave the room.
Violation of this norm will attract a
monetary fine.
Water is a scarce resource. Officer
29
 Trainees are expected to ensure that
taps are properly closed, whenever
they leave the room. Violation of this
norm will attract a monetary fine.
In case of harm caused to government
property due to negligence, damages
will be recovered from your salary.
Mobile phones are not allowed in the
academic areas. Any mobile phone
found in possession will be confiscated
and penalties will be imposed by the
disciplinary authority.
As a penalty, ACC Incharge (Discipline)
may order such other penal actions as
may be deemed necessary.
INFORMAL MEETINGS WITH
FACULTY
Officer Trainees are expected to call on
their counsellors and other Faculty
members and meet them informally at
their residence. These informal
meetings are considered an important
part of the community life at the
Academy. Officer Trainees are advised
to seek prior appointment from the
Faculty member to be called upon.
Kindly be punctual on such
engagements. In the event of your not
being able to keep up the engagement,
concerned Officer Trainee must express
regrets to the Faculty member. Not
turning up on a fixed engagement
without any intimation to the host is a
gesture of rudeness which is not
expected from an Officer.

ASSESSMENT AND AWARDS
ASSESSMENT
The Foundation Course aims at providing
professional knowledge, developing job-
oriented skills, inculcating esprit de corps
and nurturing appropriate attitudes and
values. We hope that the course will help
the Officer Trainee to imbibe officer like
qualities and develop an understanding of
the administrative environment. Regular
evaluation of such skills and performance is
of key importance. We do not intend to
burden you with heavy end-of-course
examinations, but would prefer to test you
as you go along the course, through
examinations and also observation and
interaction.
The overall breakup of evaluation is as
follows:
Directors Assessment - 150
Academic Inputs - 450
Total - 600
With respect to soft skills, values and
attitudes, Officer-Trainees will be assessed
on a continuous basis on their participation
and performance during the trek, village
visit, other extra-curricular activities,
general behaviour, punctuality and personal
conduct. This evaluation forms part of the
Director's Assessment.
Proficiency in various subjects will be
evaluated through concurrent examinations,
quizzes and other methods, which may
Our business in life is not to get ahead of others but to get ahead of
ourselves - to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterdays by our
today, to do our work with more force than ever before.

Hao Dharmete Dheer, Hao Karomete Bir
Hao Unnato Shir Naahi Bhay.
Bhuli Bhedabhed Gyan, Hao Sabe Aaguaan
Sathe Aache Bhagwan Habe Jai
Raho Dharam Mein Dheer, Raho Karam Mein Bir
Rakho Unnat Shir Daro Na
Nana Bhasha, Nana mat, Nana Paridhan
Bibidher Majhe Dekho Milan Mahaan
Dekhiya Bharte Mahajatir Uthan,
Jag Jaan Manibe Bishshai
Jag Maan Maanibe Bishshai
Ullittal Urudiyail Sailil Virmudan
Talle Nirmindu Niripai Ni
Bhuli Bhedbhed gyan, Hao Sabe Aaguaan
Sathe Aache Bhagwan Habe Jai
Waha Dharmate Dhir, Wha Karneet Vir,
Waha Unnat Shir Naahi Bhai
Nana Bhasha, Nana mat, Nana Paridhan
Bibidher Majhe Dekho Milan Mahaan
Dekhiya Bharte Mahajatir Uthan,
Jag Jaan Manibe Bishshai
Jag Maan Maanibe Bishshai
Hao Dharmete Dhir, Hao Karomete Bir,
Hao Unnat Shir Nahi Bhai
Hao Unnat Shir Naahi Bhay
Meaning
This is a Bengali song, composed by Shri Atul
Prasad Sen. The translation of the first two lines,
the refrain in three languages - Hindi, Tamil and
Marathi has been included in the song. The Eng-
lish translation of the song is given below:
"Be firm in your faith, be courageous in action
Keep your head erect - fear not;
Forget all your differences, let all march onward,
God is with us - victory is assured;
Many languages, many creeds, many costumes,
Let there be unity in this diversity,
Watching the rise of the great Indian Nation,
The world will be filled with wonder
The world will be filled with wonder"
