Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Thursday bureaucrats should abandon negativity and never compromise on the unity and integrity of the country. Addressing bureaucrats on the occasion of 15th Civil Service Day in Delhi, the Prime Minister urged officers to do everything, even at local levels, for strengthening the unity and integrity of India.
“No matter what we do, be it at the local levels and in villages, never lose sight of the fact that the unity and integrity of the country are supreme. Whatever system we create, whatever decisions we take, always ask yourselves whether they strengthen the unity and integrity of India. India first, the nation first should be the benchmark of our work,” said Modi.
Modi implored the bureaucracy to break out of the mentality of indifference and live freely. “During last eight years, many big things with behavioural change have taken place,” he said, adding that along with urging the people to change their behaviour towards old customs, we should implement them first in our own offices and homes.
