New Delhi : The Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu on July 22, 2018, asked the young officers to take the benefits of government schemes to the poorest of the poor in the society. He was addressing a gathering at Guru Puja, Samkalp, a Project by Jan Kalyan Shiksha Samiti, here. Former Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Jagmohan and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.

The Vice President said that the importance of Guru in our system cannot be over-emphasized. He said that we all know Lord Krishna himself is the Guru of all living entities. Yet, in order to teach us the importance of Guru and how to serve the Guru, Lord Krishna accepted Sandipani Muni as his spiritual master. Such is the exalted position of Guru in our tradition, he added, according to a PIB release.

The Vice President said that the Teachers at Samkalp precisely helped aspirants of Civil Service Examination, especially those, who come from a poor background and guided them to pursue their goals with grit and determination and they deserve our admiration.

The Vice President said that the challenge is to touch every section of the society and make them part of developmental process. An effective implementation of government schemes at grassroot level will bring in change, he added.

The Vice President said that it is true that government has stared several programmes but often we falter at the implementation level. We have to fast track the process so that intended benefits reach the people on time, he added.

Stressing on the role of officers in the governance, the Vice President asked the young officers to make public governance systems more people-centric. Inclusive development should be a sacred goal, he added.

The Vice President honoured Baba Yogendra, Founder of Sanskar Bharti, with Rushi Samman and Vinay Shankar, former IAS, Bhushan Lal Vohra, former IPS, and Gajanan Wakankar, former IFS, with Guru Samman for their excellent service.
