Use your work as opportunity to transform governance: PM to IAS officers

August 25, 2017 12:22

Don't restrict yourself to files but go to the field to understand the true impact of decision making.

This was Prime Minister Narendra Modi's advice to a group of senior IAS officers who met him yesterday.

Modi interacted with over 80 additional secretaries and joint secretaries serving in the government of India. This was the second of five such interactions.

The prime minister said officers should not look on their work as just a duty, but an opportunity to make a positive transformation for governance in the country.

Modi urged them to use technology interventions to simplify governance processes.

He asked the officers to focus their attention on 100 most backward districts of India, so that they can be brought up to the national average level on various development parameters.
