Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday asked civil servants not to
work in silos but as a team and act as an agent of change for welfare of
the people and development of the country.
Addressing bureaucrats on Civil Services Day here, he asked them to
experiment to bring in change besides increasing engagement with the
people for greater results.
“Some people work in silos. We get more results working in team than in
isolation. We need to come out of silos and work together as a team for
nation building,” Modi said.
Modi said the role of civil services was earlier of a regulator. Then
after some time, the role changed to that of an administrator and then
controller.
“When time further changed, you (civil servants) must have thought of
acquiring managerial skills. Time is changing. Only being an
administrator and controller is not enough. It is the need of the hour
that everybody, at every level, has to be an agent of change,” the Prime
Minister said.
He said, “we need to bring in changes. When we sit at one place we
forget to experiment. If we do not experiment then how do we bring
changes. There is no experiment without risk. And if we don’t
experiment, then it becomes merely a job”.
“I always reward experiments. People who do work differently and
experiment, they get a different satisfaction,” the Prime Minister said.
In his about 45-minute long pep talk to a large gathering of bureaucrats
from the Centre and states, Modi asked senior officials to benefit from
the knowledge of their juniors, who are of a different generation and
probably know better ways to do a task.
