PM asks govt officials to ensure services for people

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday asked the government officials to ensure services for the people, saying Bangladesh became independent to change their fate.

"You (officials) should always keep in mind that people are never deprived of getting services because the independence of the country has been attained for changing their destiny," she said.

The premier said this while addressing the certificate distribution and closing ceremony of 121, 122 and 123 law and administration courses at BCS Administration Academy in the city's Shahbag area. She joined the function virtually from her official residence Ganabhaban here, reports BSS.

Sheikh Hasina directed the young officials of administration to always think about the people and know the area and livelihood of the people of the locality where they are posted for discharging duties.

"You (administration officials) have the highest opportunity to do the welfare of the people," she said.

She also said the young officials of administration would get the opportunity to work in a realistic manner whenever they are posted in higher positions in future through the work experience in the field level.

The prime minister said that, "You will be the key to implementing Vision-2041 adopted by the government to turn Bangladesh into a developed country."
