Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu called on the state’s civil servants to completely assume responsibility for their duties and make significant contributions to the state’s overall development, including its financial and physical infrastructure. Speaking during the 16th Triennial Conference of the Arunachal Pradesh Civil Service Officers Association (APCSOA) in this city, Khandu stated that because the majority of the officers are native to the state, they are not only administrators but also essential citizens of the communities they serve.
“This provides you with an unparalleled edge in comprehending the cultural complexities, customary establishments, and affective terrain of our people,” he said. Khandu emphasized that modern civil servants must play a transformative role in addition to an administrative one, praising the conference’s topic, “Civil Service at the Crossroads: Reimagining Public Service for a New Era.” “You are the public’s initial point of contact. You explain government programs in a way that the general public can comprehend.
You act as a mediator between modernity and tradition. For every development project, you may encourage ownership among individuals and avoid alienation,” he remarked. The Chief Minister emphasized that civil service personnel are the foundation of the state’s governance structure and that their performance not only reflects their own effectiveness but also the credibility of the government and the efficacy of political leadership.
