Droupadi Murmu graced and addressed the valedictory function of the 97th Common Foundation Course at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussoorie today (December 9, 2022).
Addressing the Officer Trainees, the President said that as she was addressing them, the words of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel were echoing in her memory. In April 1947, Sardar Patel was meeting a batch of IAS trainees. At that time he had said "We must expect and we have a right to expect the best out of every civil servant in whatever position of responsibility he or she may be". The President said that today we can proudly say that the civil servants have lived up to these expectations.
