Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday underscored the critical role of young civil servants in shaping the new and emerging India and exhorted the future land administrators to continuously hone their skills and adapt to the evolving needs of the modern era.
He made these assertions when ten officer trainees of Indian Defence Estates Service (IDES) 2023 batch called on him here, defence ministry officials said.
Rajnath emphasised that impeccable integrity in all walks of life is the most important prerequisite for the officers, highlighting its positive impact on streamlining service delivery to the people. There should not be any blot on the career of any civil servant, he said.
Stressing the importance of lifelong learning, Rajnath urged the officer trainees to keep refining their knowledge and competencies. He encouraged them to approach every challenge with innovation, integrity and unwavering commitment for the development of the nation.
