Bhatti urges integrity at Group I officers foundation course valedictory

Hyderabad: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka urged integrity and public service as core values at the valedictory of the Group I officers foundation course for 214 recruits at Dr MCR HRD Institute.

Addressing the officers, he said the completion of the Group I officers foundation course marked the beginning of their public service responsibilities. He noted that officers from diverse backgrounds now shared a common goal of serving people with dedication and integrity.

He said field exposure during training helped officers understand governance realities. Visits to schools, self-help groups, cooperatives, and tribal areas provided practical administrative insights. Therefore, he stressed that such experiences would guide them in decision-making.

He added that policies gained value only through effective implementation. Moreover, welfare schemes and development programmes succeeded when officers translated intent into action.
