Strategy for Training
The effort of the Academy is to help create a bureaucracy that commands
respect by performance rather than through position. We interpret the
Constitutional mandate for civil servants as one that promotes empathy for
the underprivileged, commitment to the unity and integrity of the nation; a
promise to uphold integrity and impeccable character in a manner that they
appear as role models for the large number of subordinates working with
them and for the society at large; a respect for all castes, creeds, religions;
and, a professional competence that makes the battle against poverty the
ultimate objective of every civil servant. At a time when nations are going
global in the processes of liberalisation and economic reforms, it is our
endeavour to make young civil servants realise the need of upholding
enlightened national interest in their interface with the world at large. We
also try to learn from the experiences of bureaucracies that have helped in
the achievement of economic progress, growth with equity, and human
wellbeing in other countries.
