New Delhi, 28th March: President Droupadi Murmu on Friday interacted with officers of the Central Power Engineering Service (CPES) and the Indian Economic Service (IES) at Rashtrapati Bhavan, underscoring their critical role in shaping India’s development trajectory.
Addressing the officers, the President said they stand at the forefront of India’s growth and will play a key role in policy formulation and implementation aimed at achieving inclusive and sustainable development.
She urged them to approach their responsibilities with dedication and passion, noting that challenges in public service present opportunities to contribute meaningfully to nation-building. She also encouraged a mindset driven by curiosity, innovation and continuous learning.
Focusing on the power sector, Murmu highlighted that electricity remains a cornerstone of industrial progress, innovation and improved living standards.
