State civil services officers attending the 124th Induction Training Programme at LBSNAA called on the President of India, Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Monday.
Addressing the officers, the President congratulated them for their promotion and induction into Indian Administrative Services. She said that almost all of them have served for over 20 years in the state governments in different capacities. They must have faced many challenges in these years and would have made tough decisions. She urged them to work with the spirit of Nation First and People First. She said that IAS officers should adhere to the principles of integrity, transparency, commitment and promptness.
The President said that on many occasions it is seen that there is a tendency to maintain the status quo. Either it is simple inertia or the indifference towards people’s emerging problems arising out of the ever-changing scenario around us. Civil servants should move ahead with the mindset of ‘change for the better’.
She also said that the country needs civil servants who are innovative, proactive and polite, professional, progressive, energetic, transparent, tech-enabled and constructive. Administrative leaders embodying these leadership styles and values will be better placed to serve the nation and its citizens.Related Stories
