GUWAHATI: Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has called upon mid-career IAS officers of the country to keep themselves connected with ground realities and always rely on innovation for solutions.
The Chief Minister from the frontier Northeastern state attended the valedictory function of the mid-career training programme for IAS officers here at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA).
Addressing the valedictory function, Chief Minister said since IAS officers were spread all over the country and hail from different regions, caste and creed, they could play an effective role in binding the country together. He said Sardar Patel had once called IAS the ‘steel frame’ of the country’s government machinery and hence the role and responsibility of IAS officers were being enormous.
“Times are changing and IAS officers must keep themselves updated with latest trend and be ready to adapt to changes”, he said, adding mid-career training is essential to help them adapt to such changes.
He urged them to implement the knowledge they gathered in their training institutes at the ground level.
