He emphasized the importance of teamwork, unity, and the promotion of best practices. He cited the 41% representation of women officers in the 2024 batch as an example of Nari Shakti.
The Vice President urged officials to adopt new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning and Blockchain to enhance efficiency, transparency, and citizen services. He emphasized the importance of continuous learning, adaptability, character, and integrity. He stated that true leadership is defined by ethical actions, not by power or position.
