The responsibility and opportunities for change that a District Collector or District Magistrate possess, are probably unparalleled at any other level of government. At a time, when we lament the absence of ‘convergence’ between diverse efforts of line departments, the district as a unit is probably the best place for this convergence to find reflection. However, leadership matters. Experience is testament to the fact that visionary and dynamic leadership at a district level can usher in long-lasting change.
