Posted On: 02 MAR 2026 2:41PM by PIB Delhi Indian Administrative Service officers inducted from the State Civil Services and attending the 128th Induction Training Programme at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) called on the President of India Smt Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan today (March 2, 2026). Addressing the officers, the President said that their role is crucial to the nation-building process. They now carry responsibilities that extend far beyond district or state priorities. These greater responsibilities require a perspective that rises above departmental boundaries and dismantles administrative silos. By working in collaboration, they can enhance institutional coherence and strengthen the machinery of governance. Their collective professionalism, coordination, and commitment are essential to driving development outcomes and upholding the highest standards of public service. She underlined that they are no longer administrators of a particular region; they are the custodians of governance standards that must be upheld across the nation. Every decision they make should resonate with the overall vision of building a Viksit Bharat by 2047. The President said that as IAS officers, they will be expected to implement policies effectively to fulfil the needs and aspirations of people. She stated that their valuable experience and the spirit of ‘Nation First’ should be their guiding compass as they take on more complex challenges. The President said that officers are expected to contribute to inclusive development. She emphasised that India’s transformation into a developed nation will be meaningful only when the benefits reach the most vulnerable and deprived sections. She urged them to make untiring efforts to ensure that no community is left behind due to geographical, social, or economic reasons. She stated that another important area that demands their commitment is sustainability and climate resilience. As senior administrators, they must champion green practices, promote climate-adaptive governance, and ensure sustainable development. She underlined that our collective actions today will determine the quality of life of future generations.

Remember 128th Induction Training Programme at LBSNAA (Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration) in 2026; note these are promoted officers from state services, not direct recruits—distinction often tested in personality and interview questions.
