Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the IAS probationers, via video conferencing, advised them to take decisions in the national interest by following the mantra of ‘minimum government and maximum governance’. He was addressing from Kevadiya in Gujarat, where he also paid tributes to Sardar Vallabhai Patel on his 145th birth anniversary.
Modi told the probationers that they were entering the service at a crucial juncture when India is about to enter the 75th year of its Independence. He emphasized on a people friendly approach in governance as governments not only run on policies alone but on people who are real driving force and not just the receiver of the government’s policies and programmes.
He further advised the future bureaucrats to reduce their interference and ensure empowerment of common people.
He requested them to always take decisions in the national interest and meant to strengthen the unity and sovereignty of the country for keeping India’s constitutional spirit high.
