Banjara Hills: Dr Sanjeev Chopra, Director, Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussorie, inaugurated the Special Foundation Course (FC) for All India Services & Central Civil Services Officers and Second Foundation Course for Military Engineer Service (MES) Probationers.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Chopra noted that the present-day society was characterised by ever-rising aspirations on the part of people who expect delivery of efficient services at a fast pace. "The challenge for the civil servants in this scenario, therefore, is to keep their skill set current and up-to-date in order to measure up to these expectations and deliver good governance," he stated.
On account of growing literacy percentages, educational attainments, and awareness levels on the part of people, they expect a fair deal from different wings of government. "In this transformed environment, arbitrary and dictatorial approach to administration has become a thing of the past," he opined. He called upon the Civil Servants to develop the right set of people-related skills. He called upon them to use the emerging technologies to understand the problems of people in their true and total frame of reference and find enduring solution to them.
Brig PKG Mishra, who was the guest of honour, underlined the greater need for military-civil collaboration. "Honesty to self, loyalty to organisation, and integrity to country should be the guiding principles both for Civil Servants and MES Probationers in their careers," he added.
B P Acharya, DG, Dr MCR HRD Institute, in his presidential address, advised the civil servants to emerge as role models by pursuing excellence, demonstrating courage to tell the truth, and networking with different Services by breaking the silos. Acharya administered the oath of allegiance to the Constitution of India to the Officer Trainees.
Dr Chopra and Brig Mishra released Course Manuals for Special Foundation Course for AIS & CCS Officers and MES Probationers, respectively. Harpreet Singh, Additional DG, MCR HRDI, welcomed the gathering and spoke about the salient features of special foundational course for AIS & CCS Officers. M P Sethi, Chief Consultant (Training & e-Learning), spoke about the FC for MES Probationers. Paresh Sharma, , Chief Consultant, Foundation Course, proposed a vote of thanks.
