Governor's Call for Compassionate Governance in Arunachal Pradesh
In a significant address to Arunachal Pradesh Civil Service (APCS) trainee officers, Governor KT Parnaik emphasized the need for a citizen-centric approach rooted in service, compassion, and the needs of the common people.
Beyond Regulation: Facilitators of Growth
Parnaik urged the officers to move beyond control-oriented regulation and become facilitators of growth, innovation, and opportunity. This approach would ensure that every policy and welfare scheme reaches the last mile, particularly those in remote, border, and underserved areas.
Architects of a Developed India
The Governor encouraged the trainee officers to view themselves as architects of a Viksit Bharat (developed India), enabling a strong, self-reliant, and confident nation.
Inclusive, Equitable, and Sustainable Development
Parnaik emphasized the importance of aligning every action with the Viksit Bharat@2047 vision. This vision aims for inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development for all sections of society.
Technology and Empathy
The Governor advised the officers to leverage technology to improve efficiency, monitoring, and transparency. However, he also stressed the need to anchor decisions in empathy, ethics, and human judgement.
Relevance to North East and India
This call for compassionate governance is particularly relevant to the North East region, where remote and underserved areas often face challenges in accessing government services. The Governor's emphasis on reaching the last mile will be crucial in ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their location, have equal access to government services.
Reflections and Forward Look
As the APCS trainee officers embark on their careers, their commitment to the ideals of compassionate and inclusive governance will shape the future of Arunachal Pradesh. Their actions will not only impact their state but also contribute to India's vision of a developed nation.
