I will bid farewell to Honorable Cabinet Secretary, Shri Rajiv Gaubaji, who has come to welcome the Honorable Prime Minister and all of you,

0:49 with a welcome address. Most Respected Prime Minister, Honorable Minister, Jitendra Singh Ji, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, PK Mishra, all the fellow officers of the Central and State Governments, all the distinguished civil services officers present, I heartily welcome all of you to the ceremony. I thank the Honorable Prime Minister from the bottom of my heart for taking time out of his very busy schedule to be present among us.

1:36 Sir, your presence is always a great blessing for all of us, for your saturation in the Prime Minister's schemes. These are being seen as a positive change in life. Civil servants are

2:23 continuously making their valuable contribution till effective implementation. Today, on this occasion, I congratulate all my colleagues for these collective efforts. Civil services are an opportunity for us to re-educate ourselves towards serving the citizens and building the nation. We have an opportunity to make ourselves more productive than before, to become result-oriented and to pledge to behave and work in accordance with the high standards and values ​​expected from civil servants.

3:20 In the sessions, an in- depth discussion was held on Sarita, which will help in making our efforts more effective. On this occasion, I congratulate all my colleagues who have received this year's Prime Minister's Award. Your initiatives and innovations for making the lives of the citizens of the country happier are commendable. Under the guidance of the Prime Minister, efforts are being made to institutionalize these innovations and good practices and make them available at one place so that they can be easily adopted in other states and other districts of the country. Having closely seen the glory of the Prime Minister's Award, I have been reminded of the innovations and good practices in different states and districts of the country. The

4:09 excellent work being done by the civil servants in the districts has got a good opportunity to receive the public. I would like to praise all the officers who participated. Their initiatives were also of high quality and useful. In the civil service, most of our work is done away from the limelight, for which no award recognition should be expected. In the end, the women present and all the civil servants associated with the webcast across the country, including a large number of young officers from all services, for inspiring us by their presence and providing valuable guidance. Once again, the Prime Minister

5:11 [Praise] [Music] Minister of State in the office [Music] Most respected Prime Minister, first of all, thank you for taking out a few moments of your valuable time and being among us and serving our house. Prime Minister,

6:48 after a few months, you have greeted us with a red banana. Is it possible to end the bias in government appointments by eliminating the interview? This ministry took it forward and by eliminating the interview, provided a level playing field for every candidate, no matter what his social or economic background may be. This level playing field Taking this approach forward, just a few days ago, this ministry took another decision that now the written exam for the appointments being made by the Staff Selection Commission will be conducted in 15 subjects.

7:40 If the regional colleges in English and Hindi were sitting, they were abolished. To increase transparency in administration, not to increase responsiveness, you gave the call for i-governance, the result of which is this. Today, more than 80% of the work in the Government of India is being done online and one of its results is that during co-ordination, not even a single day of work was pending in our work. You explained to us that it is essential for good governance. The

8:32 result of this is that before 2014, only 200,000 poor people used to be registered in the whole country in a whole year, today their number has increased to 20 lakhs. Prime Minister,

9:22 you had once said that the Government of India has the power to go beyond Delhi. Taking this seriously, the work of regional seminars has been started in this department. Regional Conferences on Good Governance range from Srinagar, Jammu in the north to Hyderabad, Bengaluru in the south and Bhubaneswar in the east. Till now, the Government's Goshti has been organized in the West up to Mumbai and in the Northeast from Etah Nagar to Shillong and today's ceremony is being organized in this format. This new format is also due to your inspiration. Before 2014, this mantra

10:12 [Music] Before concluding, I am happy to inform you that in this very department, the Department Administrator has started working on 20-47. It is very difficult to imagine what the year 2047 will be like.

10:59 What will be the role of the civil servant in that time, what will be the role, how much will be the role, how much will be the interference of technology and artificial intelligence, the exercise to determine that has been started so that in the coming 25 years, how our young officers can build their capacity and dedicate themselves to the building of the country, the nation, so that when 25 years from today, India celebrates its anniversary, then while celebrating the centenary of India, these officers feel this satisfaction

11:58 [Praise] Many thanks to Dr. Jitendra Singh ji.

38:55 best wishes to all of you on Civil Services Day [Praise] This year's Civil Services Day [Music] is very important. 75 years of our independence, we have started growing rapidly to achieve the huge goals of the last 25 years.

39:47 Those officers who joined this service 15-20-25 years ago, played a big role in bringing the country to the Amrit Kal of Independence. The role of those young officers who are going to remain in this service for the next 15-20-25 years is the biggest. Therefore, today I would say to every civil service officer of India that you are very lucky

40:36 [Praise] [Music] [Praise] that you got the opportunity to serve the country in this period [Music] Today is the Amrit of high. The responsibility of fulfilling the dreams of the freedom fighters of the country in tomorrow lies on all of us. We have less time but we have

41:23 plenty of capability. Our goals are difficult but our courage is not less, but our intentions are higher than the sky. [Praise] In the last 9 years, I often say that the

42:09 bureaus and agriculture in the country are the same, the officers and employees are the same, but the results have changed. In the last 9 years, if India has come to play a special role in the world, then your cooperation has been important in this. [Praise] In the last 9 years, if even the poorest of the poor in the country have got the confidence of good governance, then

42:56 your hard work has paid off in this too. This too would not have been possible without your participation. Despite the crisis of Corona, today India is the fifth largest economy in the world. Today India is number one in terms of payments.

43:43 [Praise] Today India is among those countries of the world where mobile data is the cheapest. Today India has the third largest economy in the world. A huge change is coming. As

44:30 compared to the train time of 24 hours, today the national highways are being constructed in the country at twice the speed. As compared to 2014, today the course of the country is improving. Capacity augmentation has almost doubled. Compared to 2014, the number of airports in the country has also more than doubled today. The awards given here today prove your participation in the success of the country, reflect your spirit of service.

45:25 [Praise] I have invoked five spirits in front of the country with a red banana. There should be a huge goal of building a developed India. There should be freedom from every thought of slavery. There should be a feeling of pride in India's heritage. The unity of the country should be one, which should be continuously strengthened and our duties should be given paramount importance. The energy that will be generated from the inspiration of these five spirits will take

46:14 our country to the heights it has always deserved. [Praise] I am also happy to see that all of you have kept the theme of Civil Services Day this year as Developed India. It is also reflected in the book which has just been released. Developed India is

47:01 not limited to just modern infrastructure or modern construction. The government system of India is essential for a developed India. [Music] Support the aspirations of every citizen. For a developed India, every government employee of India should help the countrymen in making their dreams come true. It was connected to India, that should turn into positivity. Our system should

47:50 move forward in its role as a helper of the countrymen. Our experience of our colleagues has been that no matter how good the scheme is, no matter how great the road is on paper, if the delivery is not good, then the expected results will not be achieved. You poor people know that it was due to the earlier system that there were more than 4 crore fake gas connections in the country.

48:35 It was due to the earlier system that there were more than 4 crore fake ration cards in the country. It was the earlier system that the Ministry of Women and Child Development was helping women and children. It was the earlier system that gave the benefit of scholarship to the Ministry of Minority Affairs. And it is also due to the earlier history that under MNREGA,

49:23 lakhs of such fake accountants were created in the country. Money of lakhs of such workers was transferred who did not even exist. Now think, those who were never born, they were born only on paper. Under the guise of fake names, lakhs of crores of such fake accounts were involved in a huge corruption. Today, with the efforts of the country, with the efforts of all of you, this system has changed.

50:11 Nearly Rs. 3 lakh crore of the country [Praise] Today, money is being spent for the welfare of the poor, making their lives easier. Friends, when time is limited, it becomes very important to decide what our direction will be, what our working style will be. Today, the challenge is not how efficient you are,

51:01 but the challenge is to decide how the deficiencies will be removed if we want to move ahead in our country, for which we were making efforts. Remember earlier, but today that deficiency has

51:47 turned into efficiency. Today, the same efficiency is identifying even the smallest of the policy-related problems so that they can be removed. Earlier, it was thought that the government will do everything, but now think that the government will do it for everyone [Praise] Now, with the spirit of working for everyone, the government is using time and resources efficiently.

52:36 National First, Citizen First is the nature of today's government. Priority is given to the deprived. Today's government is going on an express route, going to the block. Today's government is going to the border villages of the country. Not considering them as the last village but considering them as the first village, we are reducing the number of villages and running the Vibrant Village Scheme. This has

53:23 become a big identity of our government in the past years, but we should always keep one thing in mind that for 100% saturation, we will have to work even harder and adopt innovative solutions. [Music] The

54:15 administration wants to give a clear certificate of a huge amount of time. Data layer related to 75 is available on a single platform. We have to use it as much as possible. This will definitely

55:16 help us in removing the difficulties in identifying the needs of the people. This will simplify the communication between the departments, the district and the block. It will also be easier for us to make future strategies. Friends, this Amritkar of freedom has brought big opportunities for all the government employees of India [Music] and it is equally challenging. Despite so many achievements,

56:03 despite the successes achieved at a fast pace, why am I calling it a challenge and I believe that you also have to understand this. Today the people of India are growing rapidly for a developed India. [Music] To bring about a change in the systems, we are doing everything to fulfil the expressions of the people of the country. Everyone has to be

56:49 mobilized with full strength, decisions have to be taken quickly and you must keep one more thing in mind that today I am saying this, not only this, you must also be feeling that today the whole world also has very high expectations from India, exports from all over the world, various international institutions are saying that the time has come for India,

57:57 I definitely want to move forward, the country has put a lot of trust in you, and has given you an opportunity, do it while maintaining the expectations, I often tell you that the basis of your decisions in service should be only and only the welfare of the country [Music] It is possible that in the film you have to take a decision for a single person, a decision for a group, but even then you must think that why will it be

58:48 good for me, I also have a feeling, you will also pass this test, friends, in any democracy, political parties are very important, Hardev,

59:33 in the constitution, every party has been given rights, but as a bureaucrat, as a government employee, now you will have to keep some questions in mind in every decision of yours, or are you doing it for the welfare of the country Where is it being used, you people have to see this, friends [praise] [music],

1:00:28 that political leader is looting government money to build his vote bank or is he doing it to make everyone's life easier, that political leader is promoting himself with government money or is he honestly making people aware, that political leader is appointing his workers in different ways or is he giving everyone an opportunity to get a job in a transparent manner, that political leader is not doing this for the nation so that new ways of earning black money are created for him. You must think about these questions before every decision of yours. Sardar Patel,

1:01:50 I want to say a few things to him in particular, you also know that there are two ways of living life, first is getting things done and second is letting things happen. The first is a reflection of active attitude. The person living in the first way thinks that yes, change can happen. The person believing in the second way says okay,

1:03:11 you also have to remember that your success as an officer will not come from what you have achieved for yourself, your success will be assessed by this. How much has the life of others changed because of your work and your career? What do the people whose lives you were responsible for changing think about you? Therefore, you should always remember this. Good governance is an important factor when there is a development-oriented governance and it

1:03:59 gives better results. In the same state, if one district performs well and another does not, then the real reason behind it is the difference of good governance. When we appointed young officers from the country full of enthusiasm there and motivated them for good governance, the result was also excellent. Today, many districts are performing better than other districts of the country in development parameters.

1:04:47 When you focus on this, on better participation, then the sense of ownership will become stronger among the people and when the public takes ownership of any scheme, then an unprecedented result is sure to come. You can see the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. [Music]

1:05:38 Such a meeting should take place at the Panchayat level in our Gram Panchayat, in our block, in our district, in our state. We have to focus on these sectors to attract investment. What changes are to be made in the Panchayat of our district? There are products which I can export or take to the market. We should have a clear vision for these. You can always connect the girls and the self-help groups to promote local production in your area. Encouraging local talent,

1:06:27 supporting local entrepreneurship, promoting startups. I understand that this is the need of the hour. Friends have been working with me for years and I would say that it is my good fortune that I have got the opportunity to work with friends like you. You know how much emphasis I have always given on capacity building. I am happy that today

1:07:13 Mission Karma Yogi has become a big campaign among all you civil servants. The objective of Mission Karma Yogi is to use the full potential of the civil servant. The Capacity Building Commission is taking this campaign forward with full strength. This should also not remain a mere formality. Therefore, I Go platform has been created to ensure that quality material related to training and learning is available everywhere and at all times. [Music]

1:08:07 Friends are also being trained with the orientation model of Karma Yogi Prarambh for the past years. In the Bureau, the government has freed the bureau from yet another bondage. This bondage of protocol and hari ka bandar (monkey of the harlot). Now you know that I started it myself. I regularly meet everyone from secretary to assistant secretary. I meet with the trains [Music]. No

1:08:58 one would have thought that if these officers did not have the experience of working in the Central Government, then how would they implement many programs on the ground? We have tried to fill this gap in the ongoing Assistant Secretary program. Now the youth get an opportunity to work in the Central Government at the very beginning of their career, to gain experience and learn something from the most senior people. We have to take such innovations forward. We have to make continuous efforts to bring results and take these efforts to the top. Friends,

1:09:59 duty is not an option for us, but a resolution. This is a time of rapid change. Your role will also be determined not by your rights, but by your duties and their compliance. In the new India, the strength of the citizens of the country. Congratulations, the strength of India has also increased. You have got an opportunity to play a role in India. After 100 years of independence, when history has changed. If the government will assess the situation, then you have an opportunity that your name should also be one of the prominent names in it.

1:10:47 Now you can proudly say that I have played a role in creating new systems for the country, I have played a big role in improving the systems. I am confident that all of you will continue to expand your role in nation building. Capacity building [Music] Civil service is

1:11:32 not a ritual of war. It is an opportunity to fill yourself with enthusiasm and energy to complete the decision within the stipulated time. This opportunity will bring a new energy, new inspiration, new power, new promotion, new resolution. If we move forward with this, then we will try to climb the steps that we want to achieve. With this belief, my best wishes to you. Thank you [Praise]

1:12:26 [Music]
