Officer Trainees of the Indian Foreign Service (IFS) 2022 Batch paid a visit to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi at 7, Lok Kalyan Marg yesterday.
The Prime Minister had a wide-ranging conversation with the Officer Trainees, asking them about their experiences since joining the federal service. Officer Trainees discussed their experiences from rural visits, Bharat darshan, and Armed Forces attachments during their training. They also apprised the Prime Minister of the transforming impact of numerous government welfare initiatives, like as the Jal Jeevan Mission and the PM Awas Yojna, which they witnessed firsthand.
The Prime Minister discussed the government’s aim on achieving saturation of social systems and how this has resulted in reaching out to every needy individual without discrimination.
