Govt employees' main duty is to serve people: Wahiduddin
Staff Correspondent
Education Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud today said that the main responsibility of the government employee is to serve the country's people.
"Government employees should have accountability in all spheres alongside showing their responsibility," he said.
The adviser made this remark while addressing the course ending and certificate distributing ceremony of the 76th Basic Training Course at Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre (BPATC) in Savar as chief guest, said a ministry press release.
He asked the government employees to groom themselves in the spirit of patriotism and work for the welfare of the country's people.
"Excellence and sincerity in serving the public will be the key of assessing efficiency and competence of a public servant," he said, adding, "You have to bear the mentality of providing equal service to all citizens without any discrimination over religion, gender and wealth (rich and poor)."
He continued that it must not be forgotten that giving service to the people is not a favor rather they deserve it.
Referring to the new journey started after an unforgettable uprising of the student-people, Wahiduddin Mahmud said this journey is to build a fair, just and equitable humane Bangladesh.
Due to the lack of good governance in the recent past, this path is thorny, he observed.
"As a student of economics, I feel that there is no other way for us to reach the desired destination without well-thought-out and well-planned steps and programmes," pointed the Education Adviser.
He said that trained government employees are required for the successful implementation of this massive campaign, adding, "You (government employees) must fulfill the expectations (of the countrymen) that appeared through the immeasurable sacrifices of student-people."
BPATC Rector Sayeed Mahbub Khan chaired the event.
On this occasion, the adviser handed over crests and certificates to the participants who secured first to 20th positions in the overall evaluation of the 76th Basic Training Course.
A total of 354 officers of various cadres of BCS 35 to 40 batches participated in this training for six months from March 9, 2024 to September 4, 2024.
