IAS PROBATIONERS CALL ON ADVANI
A Batch of Sixty
IAS Probationers called on the Deputy Prime Minister and the Home
Minister, Shri L.K.Advani here today. The Probationers are drawn
from different States, Bihar and UP contributing the largest group.
The speciality of this group is that they are mostly drawn from
agriculture education background whereas in earlier years IIT
graduates formed the chunk of the cadre.
Interacting with
the Probationers Shri L.K. Advani called upon them to be confident
and optimistic, as they form the backbone of the administration
in the Government. This will contribute to negate the cynicism
and pessimism that generally exist in the society. Addressing
the group he said India did not pay the required attention for
the health and education sector after getting independence and
therefore we have not been successful to explore the potential
in the country in every field. The party in power makes policy
decisions but it is the administrators who actually implement
this in the field. Unless they are sincere and confident and committed
no scheme or programme will be successful. Another aspect in the
society he touched is the level of corruption. He said with the
best talent of the society coming to the Indian Administrative
Service, these young men and women should develop some determination
to root out this evil and in the process they will make valuable
contribution in building the society. This is because they will
be working at the district and block levels.
