Total 378 young officers of the 2020 Civil Services batch on Wednesday joined in the State’s different civil service cadres. An orientation for the new officers was held at the Lok Seva Bhawan.
Welcoming the officers on a virtual platform, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik said, “Government service provides a unique opportunity to serve the general public and the weaker section of our society. People have great expectations and trust on you. I wish you will fulfil those aspirations.”
He further said, “A new Odisha, an empowered Odisha is possible with young, techno-savvy and efficient officers like you in the Government; and I hope you all will shine in this test of public service. In a democracy, people are the ultimate masters and we all are here to serve them.”
