Itanagar, Jan 20: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt. General KT Parnaik (Retd.), interacted with the Arunachal Pradesh Civil Service probationers at Lok Bhavan, Itanagar, on Tuesday. The Governor shared his concerns, including land issues, public transport, and waste disposal, with the trainee officers.
The Governor advised the officer trainees to adopt a citizen-centric approach rooted in the spirit of service, placing compassion, dignity, and the needs of the common person at the heart of governance. He exhorted them to view themselves not merely as administrators, but as architects of Viksit Bharat, enabling a strong, self-reliant, and confident nation.
The Governor emphasized that the Civil Service officers imbibe passion to move beyond control-oriented regulation to become facilitators of growth, innovation, and opportunity, while ensuring that every policy and welfare scheme reaches the last mile, especially citizens in remote, border, and underserved areas. Effective governance must go beyond files and reports to listening on the ground, understanding real challenges, and resolving issues with sensitivity and urgency, he said.
The Governor asked the trainee officers to align every action with the Viksit Bharat@2047 vision by ensuring inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development for all sections of society. He advised them to leverage technology to improve efficiency, monitoring, and transparency, while anchoring decisions in empathy, ethics, and human judgment. At the same time, continuously strengthen institutional and individual capacities through initiatives such as fostering professionalism, adaptability, and a culture of lifelong learning in public service.
Earlier, the Director, Administrative Training Centre, Nahalagun, Pate Mark briefed the Governor about the training courses imparted to the probationers. 47 officers from the 2025 Batch of APCS participated in the interaction.
The Governor hosted a High Tea for the probationers.
