Chief Minister N.Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday said the role of civil servants has undergone drastic change with a district Collector today being expected to be a “facilitator, enabler and manager of inclusive development”.
Addressing the young probationary officers of 2014 IAS batch at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, Mussoorie, Mr.Naidu spoke of the changing role of bureaucracy in the days of knowledge explosion and how governance should be dynamic enough to keep pace with people’s expectations and changing needs of the society.
Mr.Naidu who was apparently invited to address the probationer IAS officers and also senior IAS officers attending Phase IV course after he emerged as the popular choice among all the Chief Ministers across the country told them that demography, democracy and demand would be the three main drivers of the country’s future.
