I had a very meaningful and constructive interaction with these young achievers.
Their hard work, dedication and perseverance serve as a great source of inspiration for other youth as well. I am fully confident that they will serve the nation and Punjab with honesty, commitment and sincerity in the years to come. It is our dream to see more young people occupying high and prestigious positions, and AAP government is continuously working towards turning this dream into reality.”
Interacting with the newly selected IAS officers from Punjab who cleared the UPSC Examination 2025, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Punjab’s youth are making the state proud through their remarkable achievements.
These officers have cracked the prestigious UPSC examination and brought glory not only to Punjab but also to their parents. Their success reflects the immense potential of our students and the positive changes taking place in the education sector.”
The Chief Minister said that this is neither the first such achievement nor will it be the last, expressing confidence that these officers will continue to achieve new milestones and bring laurels to Punjab in the years to come.
“The children of ordinary families are proving that with dedication, perseverance and proper guidance, no goal is beyond reach. Their success is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction for the entire state. These sons and daughters of the soil have proved their mettle and demonstrated that talent exists in every household,” he stated.
Highlighting the exceptional performance of girl students, the Chief Minister said that daughters are excelling in every sphere of education and competitive examinations and are rapidly emerging as role models for society.
“Girls have consistently outperformed in every field in Punjab and are proving their capabilities whenever they are given an opportunity. These daughters are demonstrating extraordinary talent and determination. Their achievements send a powerful message that with equal opportunities and encouragement, girls can accomplish anything they set their minds to,” said CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.
Calling the success of girl students a matter of pride and satisfaction for the entire state, the Chief Minister described it as a clear symbol of women empowerment. Reiterating the Punjab Government’s commitment to strengthening the education system, he said that quality education remains one of the top priorities of the government.
“We are continuously working to improve government schools by providing better infrastructure, modern teaching methodologies and a conducive learning environment for students. Every child deserves access to quality education irrespective of economic background, and our government is firmly committed to ensuring that opportunity reaches every household,” asserted CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.
The Chief Minister said that the Punjab Government is making concerted efforts to further strengthen the education sector so that children from common families receive the same opportunities to excel as anyone else. “Education is the strongest tool for empowering future generations and building a prosperous Punjab.
The Punjab Government will leave no stone unturned in strengthening the education system and ensuring that every child gets an equal opportunity to succeed,” added CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.
Urging parents to trust their children and support their aspirations, the Chief Minister said that every child possesses unique abilities and talents that must be nurtured instead of being burdened with expectations that do not align with their interests.
“Parents should identify and encourage the strengths of their children rather than forcing them into career paths that may not suit them. When children receive confidence and support from their families, they are able to perform at their best and realize their true potential,” said CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.
Reaffirming the Punjab Government’s commitment to educational reforms and student welfare initiatives, the Chief Minister said that the government is determined to create an ecosystem where every child can realise his or her full potential.
Congratulating all the newly selected officers, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann wished them success in their future endeavours and expressed hope that they would continue to work hard, contribute to society and become ambassadors of Punjab’s progress and development.
“The future of Punjab is bright because the achievements of these young officers reflect the talent, determination and aspirations of our people. I wish each one of them the very best for life and urge them to continue dreaming big and working hard to turn those dreams into reality,” he said.
The Chief Minister also advised the officers to remain humble despite their success and continue believing in hard work as the key to greater achievements. “Do not become proud of your achievements. Stay grounded, remain humble and continue working hard. Use this platform not only to become successful officers but also to become fine human beings who contribute positively to society,” noted CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.
Expressing hope that the newly recruited officers would use their positions to serve the people, the Chief Minister said that public service must remain at the heart of their work. “Use your pen to help the needy and underprivileged sections of society.
Ensure maximum welfare of the people so that every section of society benefits from your work. This is the true service of mankind, and every officer must play a meaningful role in achieving it,” concluded CM Bhagwant Singh Mann.
Chief Secretary KAP Sinha and several other dignitaries were also present on the occasion.
