PM Modi urges young IAS officers to usher in New India

New Delhi, Jul 3 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday, advised young IAS officers to avoid getting into a mindset that resists change, and fill India’s administrative system with the energy of New India.

He was addressing IAS officers of the 2015 batch at the Inaugural Session of Assistant Secretaries.

He said countries that achieved independence after India, and faced greater resource constraints than India, have touched new heights of development.

He said boldness is required to drive change, and added that a fragmented administrative arrangement does not allow the collective capabilities of officers to deliver to the optimum level.

Dynamic change is needed to transform the system, the PM said.

He said that this three month programme of Assistant Secretaries, is now into its third year, and would have a great impact.

He urged the young officers to interact freely with the senior-most officers of the Union Government over the next three months, so that the system could benefit from the combination of their energy and fresh ideas, and the administrative experience of Secretary-level officers.

The Union Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr. Jitendra Singh and senior government officers were present on the occasion.
