Must bring youth into public services who are not attracted by public office: PM Modi
What happened
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the centenary celebrations of the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) and stressed the importance of recruiting youth who are driven by a desire to serve the public, not just pursue public office. He emphasized that the recruitment examination should assess not only the candidate's knowledge but also their motivations. Modi also highlighted the need to test complex problem-solving and farsightedness in candidates.
Why it matters
The recruitment of motivated individuals into public services is significant because it can impact the effectiveness and reputation of the services. A more motivated workforce may lead to better service delivery and a more positive public perception of the government. This is particularly relevant as the country aims to move towards a more "pro-people, pro-active, good governance" culture.
