IAS officers inducted from State Civil Services call on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan

President Droupadi Murmu addresses IAS officers on inclusive development, sustainability, and the vision for Viksit Bharat 2047 during their induction.

"Every decision they make should resonate with the overall vision of building a Viksit Bharat by 2047. - President Droupadi Murmu"

New Delhi, March 2

Indian Administrative Service officers inducted from the State Civil Services and attending the 128th Induction Training Programme at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration called on the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Monday.

According to the President's Secretariat, addressing the officers, the President said that their role is crucial to the nation-building process.

"They now carry responsibilities that extend far beyond district or state priorities. These greater responsibilities require a perspective that rises above departmental boundaries and dismantles administrative silos. By working in collaboration, they can enhance institutional coherence and strengthen the machinery of governance. Their collective professionalism, coordination, and commitment are essential to driving development outcomes and upholding the highest standards of public service," the President said.

She underlined that they are no longer administrators of a particular region; they are the custodians of governance standards that must be upheld across the nation. "Every decision they make should resonate with the overall vision of building a Viksit Bharat by 2047," she said.

President Murmu said that as IAS officers, they will be expected to implement policies effectively to fulfil the needs and aspirations of people. She stated that their valuable experience and the spirit of 'Nation First' should be their guiding compass as they take on more complex challenges.

The President said that officers are expected to contribute to inclusive development. She emphasised that India's transformation into a developed nation will be meaningful only when the benefits reach the most vulnerable and deprived sections. She urged them to make untiring efforts to ensure that no community is left behind due to geographical, social, or economic reasons.

The President stated that another important area that demands their commitment is sustainability and climate resilience. "As senior administrators, they must champion green practices, promote climate-adaptive governance, and ensure sustainable development," she said, underscoring that our collective actions today will determine the quality of life of future generations.

Wonderful to see their hard work recognized. The focus on breaking administrative silos is crucial. In my district, different departments often work in isolation, causing delays. Hope these officers can drive the collaboration needed for Viksit Bharat.

The talk about climate resilience is very timely. With the extreme heat and unpredictable monsoons, our administrators must prioritize sustainable policies. Hope they champion green initiatives in their new postings.

Respectfully, while the vision is great, the challenge is implementation. We hear these speeches often, but corruption and bureaucratic red tape remain. I hope these officers truly become "custodians of governance standards" as the President said, and not just another part of the system.

"No community left behind" – this is the heart of development. Officers with state service experience have worked in tribal areas and remote blocks. They know which sections are truly deprived. Their perspective is vital for inclusive growth.

Interesting to read. The emphasis on collaborative governance and climate-adaptive policies is a forward-thinking approach. The success of Viksit Bharat will depend heavily on this cadre of officers executing these ideas on the ground.
