Addressing a group of 175 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers of the 2020 batch, President Murmu said it was expected from civil servants to reach the last person.
President Droupadi Murmu on Thursday said civil servants should try to reach underprivileged people, and reminded them that welfare initiatives can be rated truly successful only if their benefits reach those in the lowest strata of society.
Addressing a group of 175 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers of the 2020 batch, President Murmu said it was expected from civil servants to reach the last person or the most deprived person in their area of responsibility and improve their living condition.
"They can open up opportunities for those who are not aware of welfare schemes or development programmes," she said.
The President said civil servants should be fired by their passion to make their area "number one" in terms of human development indices.
