Minister Naveen Patnaik on Wednesday
called upon the newly recruited Odisha Civil
Service Officers not to let down the trust of
the common man at any
point of time under any circumstances.
Welcoming 153 new officers on virtual mode,

own way.
It is not just a profession. It is a service towards your motherland and its common man.”
At no point of time, under no circumstances you should let down the trust of the common man,
he
said adding each and every decision and action taken by you must be towards strengthening
their
hope and trust reposed on you.”
Stating that development of the state and welfare of the poor remain at the core of all our
initiatives, Patnaik remarked, it is only through the hard work and devotion of young and
capable officers the
people will be able to reap the true benefits of state’s initiatives and make odisha number one
state.

the governance mechanism and the government is working dedicatedly to provide doorstep
services to
the people.
