IAS Gyaan by Dr GGS Emotional Intelligence and Rakesh Healthcare scheme for Senior citizens
Do you feel elated on hearing a good news and react with the same emotion?
Do you feel utterly disappointed when somethings dont happen the way you wanted them to happen?
If your answer to the above two is a no, then you are high on the quotient of Emotional Intelligence.
However, you still need to answer a question on Emotional Intelligence adequately during the UPSC Mains examination.
“Emotional Intelligence is the ability to make your emotions work for you instead of against you.” Do you agree with this view? Discuss.
This question was asked in UPSC GS IV Ethics 2018. It's not as easy as it seems. So i shall help you navigate through by showing a perspective on one question that was asked on Emotional Intelligence in GS IV 2019 paper.

Being at the top lends a feeling of loneliness. How would a prudent civil servant react if he happens to meet someone familiar who is in need? Would the civil servant go out of his way to help the villager or would he follow the rules and still help?
UPSC GS IV Ethics 2018 probed an important attribute on similar lines through the question:
One day, an old couple visited Rakesh’s office with their application. They have been the residents of a village in his district since their birth. The old man is diagnosed with a rare condition that causes obstruction in the large intestine. As a consequence, he has severe abdominal pain frequently that prevents him from doing any physical labour. The couple has no children to support them. The expert surgeon whom they contacted is willing to do the surgery without charging any fee. However, the couple will have to bear the cost of incidental charges, such as medicines, hospitalization, etc., to the tune of rupees one lakh. The couple fulfils all the criteria except criterion ‘b’. However, any financial aid would certainly make a significant difference in their quality of life.
How should Rakesh respond to the situation?(d) Post-treatment prognosis is likely to be high to make a positive difference to the quality of life of the beneficiary.
Rakesh is a responsible district level officer, who enjoys the trust of his higher officials. Knowing his honesty, the government entrusted him with the responsibility of identifying the beneficiaries under a health care scheme meant for senior citizens.
The criteria to be a beneficiary are the following:
(a) 60 years of age or above.
(b) Belonging to a reserved community.
(c) Family income of less than 1 Lakh rupees per annum.
