38% officers in new civil services batch women: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated on Thursday that 38% of the selected civil service officers present here are women. He stated this while addressing the valedictory event of the 99th foundation course at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration in Mussoorie.

He added until 50% of the country's population is involved in policymaking, PM Modi's idea of 'women-led development' will not be realised.

Shah further emphasized that while the government's job is to formulate policies, it is the responsibility of officers to implement them. He said, implementation of policies is not possible without the spirit of execution.


He also emphasised that while serving as District Magistrates, officers should make maximum use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and data, which would make their decisions more effective and accurate. He said that development does not come from statistics but from outcomes.

He said, wherever you go in any district, you should work on bringing together the disparate data with the help of AI. These small experiments of yours will be useful in advancing the country.

Home Minister said that that terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, Left-Wing Extremism (LWE), insurgency in the Northeast, and narcotics were the four major challenges for our country. He said that due to the firm policies of the Modi government, significant successes have been achieved in all four areas over the past 10 years.
