A landmark moment for PDUNASS. A significant milestone in EPFO's knowledge and governance journey!

On EPFO's 74th Foundation Day, Hon'ble Union Minister for Labour & Employment, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, released three landmark publications of PDUNASS, in the august presence of Dr. Chandra Bhushan Kumar, Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment, and Shri Ramesh Krishnamurthi, CPFC.

Three publications. Three vital dimensions of institutional excellence: Research, Reflection and Compassion.

📘 The Indian Journal of Social Security (Vol. 1, 2026) - A landmark in evidence-based social security knowledge. The Indian Journal of Social Security and PFRE were both conceptualized and institutionalized by Shri Kumar Rohit, Director, PDUNASS, turning EPFO officers' rich field experience into meaningful research and evidence-based knowledge on social security. It was a collaborative editorial and publishing effort, with Shri Prashant Sharma, RPFC-I, PDUNASS, leading it with others.

📗 Reimagining Governance: Discourse for Excellence (RGDE) - A compilation of 26 sessions of PDUNASS's flagship lecture series, bringing together eminent personalities from diverse fields to enrich discourse on governance, leadership, ethics and public policy.

📕 Shasan Vidhi Mein Karuna (Compassion in Governance) - A collection of 83 real-life case studies from 62 Regional Offices, showcasing compassionate interventions by EPFO officials for members and pensioners. Compiled by Shri Ram Anand, RPFC-I, PDUNASS.

Together, these publications embody PDUNASS's vision of building a knowledge-driven institution, nurturing enlightened leadership and placing the human being at the heart of governance.

A meaningful step towards making social security not merely an administrative responsibility, but a more responsive, humane and compassionate public service.

From Rajdharma to empathy, from duty to compassion—the vocabulary evolves; the spirit endures.

The latest edition of Season 2 of Reimagining Governance: Discourse for Excellence (RGDE) brought civilisational wisdom and contemporary leadership together around a timeless principle: public power is a trust—best exercised with ethics, empathy and responsibility towards every citizen.

Delivering the keynote, Shri Arif Mohammad Khan underscored Rajdharma as the ethical compass of public service—righteous conduct, moral responsibility and non-discriminatory service. Public office, he emphasised, demands sincerity, integrity, self-restraint and an unwavering commitment to every citizen. Rooted in the belief that the Divine resides in every human being, he called for public servants to engage with dignity, sensitivity and empathy.

CPFC Shri Ramesh Krishnamurthi brought this principle into the context of EPFO, which serves millions of workers, pensioners and families. He emphasised balancing legal compliance with empathy and citizen-centric service, ensuring technology and processes remain enablers of responsive governance, not barriers to access.

Director, PDUNASS, Shri Kumar Rohit, drawing upon Ramcharitmanas and the timeless ethos of Bharat-Milap, connected Lord Rama’s Rajdharma with Satya Nadella’s emphasis on empathy: the vocabulary evolves, but the essence endures. Institutions earn moral legitimacy not merely through the rules they enforce, but through how they treat the human being before them.

Moderated by Shri Prashant Sharma, RPFC-I, the discourse reaffirmed a vital truth: good governance is more than procedures, compliance and technology.
