They were an instrument to provide good governance and a welfare government. He stated that the officer trainees would be getting an opportunity to shoulder tremendous responsibility at very young age. He told them that this was not the end of their learning process. Quoting Mahatma Gandhi, he said that they should learn as if they were to live forever.
