The Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the IAS Officers of the 2015 batch at the Inaugural Session of Assistant Secretaries said that "India has not progressed as much as it should have. Countries that have achieved independence after India faced greater resource constraints than India. Boldness is required to drive change and dynamic change is needed to transform the system. Also, a fragmented administrative arrangement does not allow the collective capabilities of officers to deliver to the optimum level,". Prime Minister Modi further stated that the three months programme of Assistant Secretaries is now into its third year and would have a great impact. At the event, the Union Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh and senior Government Officers were also present.
