Vice President to deliver UPSC Foundation Day lecture on Tuesday
May 1st, 2011 - 7:21 pm ICT by ANINew Delhi, May 1(ANI): Vice President Hamid Ansari will be the main speaker at the UPSC Foundation Day lecture on governance, which will be held at Vigyan Bhawan here on May 3.
This year’s theme for the lecture is ‘Governance and Public Service’.
“The founding fathers of the Indian Republic envisaged an important role for the UPSC as the bedrock in the vital machinery of governance. The responsibility for recruiting the finest talent for manning the civil services and protecting their just interests so that they may act impartially and fearlessly are some of the tasks given to the Commission under the Constitution,” a Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions statement said.
“It is in furthering its central role in the governance that UPSC thought of holding an annual lecture series focusing on different areas of governance each year,” it added.
This is the second lecture in the series, and aims at providing a forum for raising issues of contemporary relevance to governance and public administration.
“It is hoped that it would generate ideas and fresh thinking that will help not only the UPSC, but concomitantly all other different units of governance as well,” the statement said. (ANI)
