National Public Service Day today

The ‘National Public Service Day-2022’ will be observed today with an objective to encourage and motivate the public service officials to extend their service for people’s welfare.

In separate messages on the eve of the day, President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina greeted the recipients of ‘Bangabandhu Public Administration Padak-2022’.

In his message, the President said the ‘Bangabandhu Public Administration Padak-2022’ is being conferred with the aim of encouraging the creative and constructive activities of the employees working in the public administration, increasing the motivation, encouraging the development of skills and accelerating the achievement of the development targets of the government.

“I am congratulating all the employees who got the ‘Bangabandhu Public Administration Padak”, the head of the state said.

Hamid hoped that employees engaged in all strata in the public services will play an effective role in building the ‘Sonar Bangla’ as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by achieving all the development targets of the government in the coming days, inspired by the spirit of the War of Liberation.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in her message, said: “…I think this joy of receiving the ‘Padak’ will sharpen their (public service officials’) enthusiasm, talent and creativity and encourage others.”

Government employees usually perform duties under the authority’s instructions, but some of these employees are able to go beyond conventional thinking and use new methods, technologies and approaches to bring positive changes in ongoing work and service delivery processes, she added.

This award will be given for such innovation-minded employees, she said, adding that recently, the scope of Bangabandhu Public Administration Padak has been expanded to bring more employees of various government departments under the purview of this Padak.

She further said Bangabandhu regularly kept in touch with the government servants and was serious in ensuring their personal and family welfare.

He (Bangabandhu) wanted every government servant to be efficient and honest so that they could stay in the right direction while discharging their duties, she added.

Sheikh Hasina thanked the Ministry of Public Administration for associating the name of Bangabandhu with the Public Administration Padak.

The premier hoped that the ideals of Bangabandhu, patriotism, humanity and responsibility will be transmitted among the government employees through conferring this Padak.

The Awami League-led government is always sincere about the welfare of government employees, she said.

“We consider the increase in various benefits including rise in salaries and allowances of government employees very seriously. In return, we expect sincere service and responsibility from government employees,” she added.

Both the president and the premier wished all successes of the programmes taken in connection with the observance of the ‘National Public Service Day-2022’.
