As part of their ongoing commitment to national development, the reunion batch participated in a ‘Shramdan for Swachhata’ cleanliness drive around the Academy, alongside the Director and faculty members. This initiative was also supported by the IAS Officer Trainees of the 2024 batch, who had pledged to contribute 100 hours of Shramdan as part of National Cleanliness Day. In total, the drive led to the collection of over 175 kg of dry waste, which was handed over to the Mussoorie Municipality.
This reunion not only marked the remarkable journey of the 1974 batch but also reinforced their continued role in shaping the future of public administration through their dedication to service and nation-building.
