PM Modi asks civil servants to prioritise ‘Nation First’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the civil servants’ prime responsibility was the unity and integrity of the country, on which there could not be any compromise.

“Wherever we are in the system, our prime responsibility is the unity and integrity of the country, there cannot be any compromise. Even local decisions should be measured on this touchstone. Every decision of ours should be evaluated on its capacity to provide strength to the country’s unity and integrity. ‘Nation First’ should always inform our decisions,” the Prime MInister said at a Civil Services Day event.

Mr. Modi said government functionaries should be committed to three goals: bringing a positive change in the life of common people, taking decisions in the global context, and strengthening the country’s unity and integrity.
