New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday asked civil servants to make the best of innovation and technology in implementing government policies and commit themselves towards a ‘New India’.
Addressing bureaucrats at the conclusion of the two-day Civil Services Day function, PM Modi said that the administration’s aim in the pre-Independence era was to keep the Englishman safe, but today it has to ensure that a common man is provided relief.
He stressed the need for strategic thinking in implementing government policies and also asked bureaucrats to put to use innovation and technology which can become additional strength. PM Modi further said that ‘Janbhagidari’ (people’s participation) is a cornerstone of the success of a country such as India, PTI reported.
