Number of civil service officers selected from Tamil Nadu increased: CM

Tamil Nadu: Chief Minister M.K. Stalin stated that the number of students from Tamil Nadu selected for the civil services has increased due to government initiatives.

A felicitation ceremony for the winners of the Indian Civil Services Examination was held at the Victoria Public Hall in Chennai on Wednesday. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who attended the ceremony, said:

The Civil Services Examination is considered one of the toughest exams not only in India but also in the world. Some people succeed in such exams on their first attempt, while others succeed after years of hard work.

Everyone knows the situation a few years ago. The number of students from Tamil Nadu succeeding in the UPSC (Civil Services) examination was declining significantly. After the DMK government came to power, we took several steps to address this issue.

This government has implemented several initiatives, such as the “I am the first” incentive, higher training, and special training to face the entrance exam. These initiatives have been yielding positive results recently. I thank the officers and trainees who worked towards this. You (those selected for the civil service) are all true heroes who succeed quietly. This year, 60 were selected from Tamil Nadu. I am particularly pleased that 56 of them benefited from the Naan Mulavan scheme. This number should increase further.

Many young people should serve the common people, both in Tamil Nadu and across India, as governors and departmental secretaries. They should also go abroad as Indian ambassadors and build good relations between countries.

Officials don’t always need to be carefree. Officials who treat ordinary people with love and humility have a long-lasting image. Officials often don’t get a break.

He said he would continue to support many more like you to build our Dravidian model government.

The event was attended by Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, Ministers P.K. Sekhar Babu, Kayalvizhi Selvaraj, Chief Secretary N. Muruganantham, and others.
