NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asked civil servants to make the best of innovation and technology in implementing Government policies.
He also said that participatory democracy is a must for the development of the nation.
Addressing bureaucrats at the conclusion of the two-day Civil Services Day function, the Prime Minister said the administration’s aim in the pre-Independence era was to keep the Englishman safe, but today it has to ensure that a common man is provided relief.
