Dr. V. Ram Prasath Manohar, I.A.S., emphasized that his book “From the Womb to the Collector” is conceived as a beacon of hope, perseverance, and self-belief. Speaking from personal experience, he shared that the book is not merely an account of his professional journey but a reflection of the struggles, values, and life lessons that shaped him from humble beginnings to the heights of public service. He explained that many young individuals, especially from rural and underprivileged backgrounds, often grow up without access to mentors or role models who can guide them through the challenges of education, ambition, and character-building. This book, he said, is meant to bridge that gap — to serve as a silent mentor that speaks directly to the hearts of aspirants who dare to dream despite limitations. Dr. Manohar further added that “From the Womb to the Collector” seeks to inspire confidence and resilience among youth, reminding them that success is not defined by circumstance but by one’s clarity of purpose, sincerity of effort, and consistency of hard work. He encouraged readers to see their struggles not as barriers but as stepping stones toward growth and fulfillment. He concluded by saying that if the book could ignite even a single spark of courage in a young mind, motivating them to believe in themselves and strive relentlessly for their goals, then the purpose of his writing would be truly fulfilled.
