10. Sevottam assessment process
To apply for Sevottam certification,
an organization must initially undertake a self-
assessment to ensure that it has complied with the
requirements of IS 15700 standard.
Standard specifies requirements to be met in several
dimensions including
documentation, management responsibilities,
resource management, citizens' charter, service
provision, complaint handling, monitoring, and
continuous improvement.
Once the required processes have been introduced,
the organization can approach the certifying authority

Soar Like an Eagle
During storms, Instead of hiding, the eagle will fly to some high
point & wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets
its wings so that the wind can pick it up and lift it above the
storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle soars above it.
The eagle does not escape or hide from the storm; instead,
it uses the storm to lift it higher. Don’t be afraid of the storms
or the challenges in your life. Use it to lift you higher in your life
- soar like the eagle that rides the storm’s winds.

A cup and coffee
Group of highly established
alumni– visited old professor –
soon Conversation turned into
stressful work and life.
Professor - with a large pot of
coffee & an assortment of cups,
-porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal,
some plain-looking, some
expensive & some exquisite.
- told them to help themselves
with the coffee.
“What all of you wanted was
coffee, not the cup, but all of you
consciously went for good-looking
expensive cups and then began
eyeing on each other’s cups.”

A cup and coffee
“Let’s consider that life is the coffee, and the jobs,
houses, cars, things, money and position are the cups.
However, the type of cup we have does not define or
change the quality of our lives.”
Sometimes, we fail to enjoy coffee by concentrating
only on the cup we have. Being happy doesn’t mean
everything’s around us is perfect.
It means you’ve decided to see beyond imperfections
& find peace.
And the peace lies within you, not in your career,
jobs, or the houses you have.
