How is your experience so far working as an IAAS officer? What is the training like?

Oh! It has been wonderful.

The life in shimla is very laid back and the weather is simply amazing. Our training is peppered with a lot of attachments and this adds to the enjoyability of the entire schedule.

We live in a colonial bungalow called “Yarrows” and our academy and hostel are located in the Himalayas. I wake up everyday to the sound of langurs jumping on the gabled roofs and to the view of the Himalayas outside my window.

The subjects that I learn are not very difficult. The batch is very diverse and my roommate is from Bhutan. There is a lot of fun and in between we study a little bit ;)

I write about my training in my blog Service Diary.

You can find more details there.
