Vice President calls upon civil servants to take lead in making India developed nation

New Delhi: Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar has called upon civil servants to take the lead in making India a developed nation during the ‘Amrit Kaal’ over the next 25 years. He suggested to them to go by the spirit of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's principle of 'Minimum Government - Maximum Governance'. He added that it is not mere a slogan, but the need of the hour.

The Vice President, who is also the President of Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA), was attending its 68th Annual General Body Meeting in New Delhi yesterday. He observed that the Prime Minister’s exhortation of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’ encapsulates the Indian civilizational



ethos and the vision of the Indian constitution makers. He called upon the bureaucracy to make the vision a reality and work towards taking the government’s developmental vision to the last individual.

In his address at the Institute, Minister of State of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Dr Jintendra Singh said that IIPA is not only imparting training to the ‘Selected Civil Servants’ but also to ‘Elected People’s Representatives'. 

The Minister informed that it has started a series of programs for the elected representatives of Urban Local bodies and has organised four programs for those from Jammu and Kashmir.
