"India gave the world the zero, algebra, surgery, and the concept of zero-debt governance. As future civil servants, you must carry this pride in your hearts and the knowledge in your minds."
"Scholarship and service must go together. A civil servant who does not read widely will govern narrowly. Read the classics. Read your history. Read the world — and then serve your people with everything you know."
"Integrity is not a policy — it is a character. And character is built through consistent small choices, every single day. Make the right choice today, and you will be the right officer tomorrow."
