Inspiring the Millennials & Gen Z Civil Service is indeed the most prestigious job that countless individuals intend to get into. The hard work and efforts that are put in by the current position holders first to reach to their positions and then to serve people are a source of inspiration about how one must reach out to their dreams without giving up.

ASPIRE TO INSPIRE WITH VIVEK ATRAY

We live in times where dreams are often traded for a so called 'secure and stable future and to take the route of one's dreamland demands immense courage and facing opposition. Yet, some exceptions follow their hearts to set an example for everyone. Mr. Vivek Atray, an ex IAS officer, cricketer, motivational speaker and author is one such exception.

Mr. Atray is a B. Tech. in Electronics Engineering and played in the under 19 K. Nayudu Cricket Tournament at the national level. Later as he completed his education he joined the Haryana Civil Services and eventually became an IAS officer.

He served for 25 years where he made his mark especially while holding the positions of Deputy Commissioner Panchkula and Director IT Chandigarh. In fact the IT park of Chandigarh came up when he was Director IT.

During his career in the Civil Services Mr. Atray felt the need to do more creative things and help the society. Later, he realized that the youth was under great stress due to the pressure posed at them by society, family and peer groups and he wanted to make efforts to motivate and inspire them.

Thus he resigned from the Civil Service in 2017 and became a full time advisor and motivational speaker. He is the Advisor of the Shoolini University, Solan along with being the visiting professor. He travels all across India for his motivational sessions and currently has 8 TEDx talks along with a large YouTube and Instagram following through which he engages with youth and inspires them to live a balanced, creative, constructive, and a worry free life.

"I chose this unconventional career because I realized that somebody has to and I feel it's a contribution I'm making. I think it's necessary that at least one or two people from every profession must try to do the same to inspire and motivate the youth," says Mr.
