Dr. Neh Srivastava
President
Realizing this as an opportunity to make a difference, Dr. Neh Srivastava, President, Central Secretariat Services Officers Society (CSSOS), brought together a welfare society which would develop its own Group Housing Society, instead of falling prey to builders who despite taking hefty prices do not deliver their project in time. "Housing is currently in the hands of private builders majorly in view of expanding demand by public and sub-standard construction by government agencies, result of which has been lots of misappropriation and undelivered projects by private developers. Our colleagues' needs and blockades of our hard-earned money with the builders thrusted me to make an effort through this welfare initiative which paid off, because of trust shown by public on CSSOS," remarks Dr. Neh.

The society strives to provide housing to government employees, who have to be in queue for more than 20-25 years to be eligible to get their due accommodation because of which they are not able to give their best in the jobs. Being a non-profit society registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860, CSSOS provides good quality houses at affordable prices to them without any profit in an attempt to save fellow officers and public from the builders' clutches. The crux of CSSOS' successful rise is pinned on the strong credibility Dr. Neh has earned over the past 20 years during his tenure as a Bureaucrat, packed up with his unflinching personal interest as well as his will power and dedication to take India ahead in line with PM's vision.
"Courage, hard work, dedication, and undying spirit of serving the nation through all odds shown by Sardar Ballabh bhai Patel, our First Home Minister and Current Prime Minister Shri Narender Modi has been the inspiration for me to enter into this field full time now after getting myself relieved from Government under Voluntary Retirement Scheme. Modi ji's 3Ds his Dream to make India Vishwa-Guru, Dynamism shown to the world and Dedication to serve our countrymen has been a motivating factor for me to pursue my dream," adjoins Dr. Neh.
Beating All Odds
Dr. Neh established this Welfare Society in 2016 at the age of 48 while he was doing MBA (Finance) under central government sponsorship during his stint in Ministry of Home Affairs as Under Secretary. Due to the extreme pressure of meeting the expectations of members coupled with administrative, management, legal and welfare activities, he felt forced to take voluntary retirement in 2020 to serve the public through this small venture Housing a need for all. The society that today stands tall with more than 1000 members from all over India commenced its journey with just 20 founding members, whose contribution totalled Rs 1 lakh to provide Housing to Govt officers & General Public at large in Delhi NCR.
Dr. Neh kick started the initiative by campaigning amongst fellow officers, who kept on joining and publicizing it not only through word of mouth but from 2017 onwards via awareness programs, campaigns and presentations as well. CSSOS set a membership fee of Rs. 5000 from public and gave priority to Secretariat Govt officers, who were asked for Expression of Interest (EOI) for the much-awaited Land Pooling Policy (LPP) in Delhi, notified by Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. On confirmation of their EOI to be part of Group Housing Society `Officers Enclave', as on date 500 members have pooled the land cost amounting to roughly around Rs.100 crore. CSSOS utilized it to purchase requisite land on behalf of its members and submitted to DDA through its online portal under LPP.
Though the climb has been the steepest in the past couple of years, it hasn't always been smooth. It wasn't easy for Dr. Neh to preside over a Welfare Society having members from different intellectual background and status. Despite having all the good intentions and zeal to serve the members and public, he has to continuously prove himself within the organization, since unlike a Director of the company, he is not the owner of the Society and has been elected as President of the Society for this period. On the other hand, out of competition, some position holders in government directly and indirectly, from ideologies different from that of Dr. Neh's, have been creating constant hindrances to sabotage his efforts of achieving this welfare mission, challenging the position he has acquired in this short span of time.
A Visionary
Dr. Neh is a self-believer, which is the foremost quality one requires to follow dreams and that has what has propelled him look beyond the periphery and think something different.
