True spirit of public service is to help poor and needy: MP Guv

Madhya Pradesh Governor urges government officers to prioritize welfare and empathetically serve underprivileged communities

"Helping the poor, deprived and needy is the true spirit of public service - Mangubhai Patel"

Bhopal, Sep 3

Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel on Wednesday said that officers working in various ministries of the Union government and states should apply their experience in public welfare activities.

He said the officers should always strive to resolve people's problems and ensure that the benefits of government schemes reach them.

"Helping the poor, deprived and needy is the true spirit of public service and a virtuous deed," said the Governor while addressing trainee officers and senior Under Secretaries of the Central Secretariat Service as part of the 89th e-Mid-Career Training organised by the Institute of Secretariat Training and Management.

The programme was held at the banquet hall of Raj Bhavan in Bhopal, where the Governor's Principal Secretary, Navneet Mohan Kothari, was also present.

While addressing the gathering of officers, Patel stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas' is the foundation for building a developed India, and all must work together for this goal.

He acknowledged that several welfare schemes of the Central government are reaching every section of society.

"Special initiatives such as the PM Janman Yojana and Dharti Aba are achieving remarkable progress in the field of tribal welfare," Patel noted.

He emphasised that in a democratic system, secretariat officers and staff play a crucial role in ensuring a welfare state.

"Government service is not merely a profession but a pledge of committed service aimed at bringing prosperity to the underprivileged and building a bright future for society and the nation," Patel said.

He urged officers to carefully observe, understand and empathetically listen to the problems of the poor and needy, especially during visits to remote and rural areas.

The Governor directed that public funds be used judiciously with emphasis on frugality, and that development works be closely and effectively monitored.

Wonderful message! But implementation is key. I've seen how PM Janman Yojana has helped tribal communities in our district. More officers should actually visit remote areas instead of just talking about it.

Good words but ground reality is different. Many officers still work with colonial mindset. They need to understand public service means being accountable to citizens, not just following orders from above.

As someone working in development sector, I appreciate the emphasis on empathetic listening. Too often policies are made without understanding ground realities. Hope officers take this seriously! 👍

Judicious use of public funds is crucial! We taxpayers work hard for our money and want it to reach those who need it most. Transparency in scheme implementation would help build trust.

Beautiful sentiment! Public service should indeed be seen as a pledge. My father was a government officer and he always said his salary came from the people's taxes. That mindset needs to return. 🇮🇳
