Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu has termed civil service officers as the backbone of the state's governance system.
Speaking at the 16th Triennial Conference of the Arunachal Pradesh Civil Service Officers Association (APCSOA) at Itanagar on Friday, Khandu stressed that their performance is not just their own but it reflects the effectiveness of the political leadership and credibility of the govt itself.
He urged the APCSOA officers to take ownership of the state and contribute to its holistic growth.
Appreciating the theme of the conference, 'Civil Service at the crossroads: Reimagining public service for a new era', the CM said the role of today's civil service officers is not just administrative but transformational.
"You are the first point of contact for the public. You are the ones who interpret govt schemes in a language the people understand. You are the ones who mediate between tradition and modernity. You are the ones who can prevent alienation and foster ownership among the people for every development initiative," he said.
