NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lauded the civil servants and said that their contribution has played a major role in India’s rapid development.

PM Modi also appreciated the contribution of civil servants towards nation building and enthused them to work even harder.
“As an officer, your accomplishments will not be judged by your personal achievements; you will be judged by how people’s lives have been transformed through your work,” he said.
He further motivated them to keep serving the nation with the same zeal, especially during this crucial phase of Amrit Kaal.
“During the Azadi Ka Amrit Kaal, the Yuva Karmayogi Saathi civil servants will play the most important role for development of a New India” he told the officers at the event.
He further added that “no matter how good yojanas (initiatives) look on paper, the last-mile delivery is the deciding factor.”

“The government is working with the vision to serve everyone by efficiently using their time and resources. Our mantra continues to be the nation first, citizen first,” he added.
