The Vice President, Jagdeep Dhankhar called upon civil servants to take the lead in making India a developed nation during the ‘Amrit Kaal’ over the next 25 years. He suggested that they go by the spirit of the Prime Minister’s principle of “Minimum Government – Maximum Governance”, observing that ‘it is not a mere slogan, but the need of the hour’. Dhankhar, who is also the President of Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA), was attending its 68th Annual General Body Meeting in New Delhi today. It also marked the first visit of the Vice President to IIPA after assuming office.
Reflecting on the achievements of IIPA over the year, Dhankhar said that ‘Mission Karmayogi enables an ecosystem that allows every individual in the government to exploit his/her potential. IIPA, with its enormous potential, has to catalyse that change’. The Vice President observed that the Prime Minister’s exhortation of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas’ encapsulates the Indian civilisational ethos and the vision of the Indian constitution makers. He called upon the bureaucracy to make the vision a reality and work towards taking the government’s developmental vision to the last individual.
