Not many IAS officers get time to pursue their
hobbies, and this is even more surprising when he is serving as the Private
Secretary of one of the most sought after ministers of Government of India.
Nitishwar Kumar, 1996 batch IAS officer of the Uttar Pradesh cadre, is such an
officer. He is serving as Private Secretary to Minister of State for
Communication Manoj Sinha. Nitishwar, who hails from Bihar, has a passion for
singing. He likes to sing the famous singer Kishore Kumar’s songs along with
local Bhojpuri and Maithili folk songs. Most senior civil servants in the Modi
dispensation shy away from public discourses, but Nitishwar is an exception. To
carry on his passion, he organised an evening in the memory of singer Kishore
Kumar in the main auditorium of NDMC, Delhi. His boss Manoj Sinha attended the
evening with full paraphernalia. JS Deepak then Secretary of the Ministry of
Communications, Balvinder Kumar along with senior ministry officials enjoyed
the musical evening. Even the Cabinet Secretary PK Sinha enjoyed the music. The
evening rose to the new heights when Nitishwar sang the famous song of Kishore
Kumar “Mere naina, sawan bhadon, phir bhi mera man pyasa”.
