AMN / NEW DELHI
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has advised young IAS officers to avoid getting into a mindset that resists change. Addressing IAS Officers of the 2015 batch at the Inaugural Session of Assistant Secretaries in New Delhi this morning, Mr Modi asked them to fill India’s administrative system with the energy of ‘New India’.
The Prime Minister asked the young officers to bring about positive changes in the system, and the lives of the common people. He said, boldness is required to drive change, and added that a fragmented administrative arrangement does not allow the officers to deliver to the optimum level.
Mr Modi said, dynamic change is needed to transform the system. He asserted that India has not progressed as much as it should have. The Prime Minister said countries that achieved independence after India, and faced greater resource constraints than India, have touched new heights of development. Mr Modi said, the three-month programme of Assistant Secretaries, which is now into its third year, will have a great impact.
