For those wannabe bureaucrats
What do you do when you decide to appear for the Civil Service examinations but cannot clear them because you do not have enough resources to help you out? Well, when faced with a similar predicament, Vraj Patel, a Central Excise Customs officer did quite the unimaginable - he opened a library to provide the needed resources.
The Maharishi Dayanand Foundation Library, located in Dadar, Mumbai, was established by Vraj Patel with a specific purpose - to cater to the needs of the students who are preparing for management exams, particularly the Civil Service entrance exams. At a nominal annual fee of Rs. 2000/-, students can avail of reference books, textbooks and guides for 25 optional subjects of the Civil Service exams. Besides, a faculty of experienced teachers guide students appearing for these exams by giving lectures during the weekends.
