Ranganath keeps the IPS tradition alive at HYDRAA

When it comes to year-end stock-taking of achievements, it is the in thing for IPS fraternity. IAS officers do not have much leeway in this grand tradition as their verticals differ, apart from dissimilar lines of authority. So, when A V Ranganath, HYDRAA’s dynamic chief, rose to the occasion, the media already knew what to expect-and he didn’t disappoint. Amid a subdued buzz in media circles, with some placing bets on whether Ranganath would stick to the IPS script, he did deliver and how! With his signature style and precision, he turned HYDRAA’s annual review into a memorable event. “Let’s be honest, HYDRAA wouldn’t have had this flair if it was led by anyone else,” a reporter conceded. True enough, Ranganath didn’t just live up to expectations; he reminded everyone why IPS officers cultivate a knack for making even a simple report look grand.
