In yet another feather to his illustrious cap, IAS officer Dr. Raju Narayana Swamy, widely known as Kerala’s anti-corruption crusader, has authored a new book that is drawing widespread attention among students and academicians alike.
The 104-page book is structured around 24 questions from previous Mathematics Olympiad papers, complete with detailed solutions. This marks Dr. Swamy’s third publication aimed at students preparing for the Maths Olympiad.
The book was officially released in Kuwait City by Sanjay K Muluka, Deputy Chief of Mission, Embassy of India — who is currently holding charge as India’s Ambassador to Kuwait. This latest work is Dr. Swamy’s 35th book.
His earlier writings include the Sahitya Akademi Award-winning travelogue “Shantimanthram Muzhangunna Thazhvarayil” and “Neelakkurinji: Oru Vyazhavattathile Vasantham,” which won the Kerala State Award for Children’s Literature.
Dr. Swamy, who topped the 1991 IAS batch (All India Rank 1), is celebrated for his integrity, intellectual pursuits, and contributions to governance. In 2021, he was awarded the Leonardo da Vinci Fellowship by the Center for Intellectual Property and Innovation Policy, George Mason University, for his scholarship in intellectual property law.
He earlier received the 2018 Satyendra K. Dubey Memorial Award from IIT Kanpur for his fight against corruption and the prestigious Homi Bhabha Fellowship (in cyber law).
Dr. Swamy has also served as Central Observer for the Election Commission of India on 38 occasions, including a tenure as International Observer in the 2018 Zimbabwe Elections.
An alumnus of IIT Madras (B.Tech in Computer Science), he holds a Ph.D. in Law from Gujarat National Law University, an LLM from NLU Delhi, and a PG Diploma from National Law School, Bengaluru — both with gold medals.
Known for his innovative and transparent approach to governance, Dr. Swamy has contributed significantly to policy initiatives in rural development, education, and health, and continues to be a role model in public service.
