Question

Prepare a questionnaire and interview a civil servant in your locality.

Answer 1

Me: Hello Ma’am, what do you think are the major current issues of our district?

Civil servant: I think we have progressed collectively in terms of production and increasing the gross income, but on a smaller scale, there is a need to bring equality in income, status in society, job opportunities, etc.

Me: What would be your priority list in solving all these issues?

Civil servant: When it comes to solving issues, each issue is important in its own sphere, but as per me, education is the foundation of an individual and solving the issue of education of all will help tackle and even eliminate many future problems.

Me: Do you think that even after progressing so much, there is an urban-rural divide that persists in our society?

Civil servant: There are a lot of facilities in urban areas that are yet to be introduced in our district. Some of them are pure drinking water for all, sanitation, etc. Though we have been successful in building toilets in each of the hoses, we need to work towards behavioural changes so that people use and maintain them.

Me: Thank you, ma'am, for sparing your time for this interview.

Civil servant: You are most welcome. It is a part of my job.
