Jyoti Kumari, IAS, will be remembered by the people of South Goa for her citizen friendly and proactive approach. I have had the occasion to meet her during her tenure as Deputy Collector & Sub Divisional Magistrate, Salcete. During her tenure as Deputy Collector, she made a record of sorts by speedily disposing hundreds of partition cases which were languishing for years together. Another of her major contributions was ensuring transfers of the corrupt staff who were ruling the roost in the Mutation section. Later when she became the Collector, she took several initatives to streamline the administration. Whenever the common citizens approached her, Jyoti was always eager to address their grievances and ensure a solution was devised.
