Employees are told by Siddaramaiah to emulate the ideals preached by Buddha, Basavanna, Mahatma Gandhi, and B.R. Ambedkar. In the constitution, the ideals of such leaders are enshrined.
The employees who are awarded should become role models for other employees, CM said. The employees of the government must fulfill their responsibilities to serve society, he added.
Don’t Make Ordinary People Run
Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar, in the same function, asks employees to take care of the work of ordinary people who approach them, seeking them to fetch one after another document.
“Lakhs of people apply for just 50 to 100 jobs. Remember that it is a rare opportunity to get a job in the government and use it to serve people,” Mr. Shivakumar expressed.
The programme has been attended by the Office-bearers of the Karnataka State Government Employees Association and senior officials.
