[AASC Assam @aasc1960]

AASC is indeed grateful to Dr. Ravi Kota, IAS, Chief Secretary Assam for motivating our new batch of young officers & sharing his valuable insights about the prospective opportunities & challenges of the Civil Services.

[Chief Secretary, Assam @CSAssam_]

It was a pleasure to address and interact with the newly recruited ACS (Jr Grade) and APS (Jr Grade) Officer Trainees today at the Assam Administrative Staff College, who are undergoing the Two-Week Joint Induction Programme that began on March 3, 2025.

On behalf of the Government of Assam, I extend my formal welcome to all.

As ACS and APS officers, you will face numerous challenges that demand adaptability, sound judgment, and a deep understanding of your responsibilities. Governance is a continuous and evolving process, and your ability to navigate change will be crucial.

You are stepping into a role of immense responsibility. Focus on capacity building, engage with people, and immerse yourself in the nuances of governance. Your effectiveness will be defined by your dedication and interpersonal skills.

Let your work speak for itself, not your social media presence. Serve with commitment, integrity, and a strong sense of duty.

I also congratulate the officials of AASC for their dedicated efforts in grooming our young officers. It is encouraging to see the integration of physical training, yoga, and the Guru-Shishya tradition into the program, fostering holistic development.

Best wishes for your journey ahead- I look forward to working with you all.

Had a meaningful interaction with Smti. Vartika Rawat, IHC, Lagos, Nigeria, and Shri Nishi Kant Singh, DCM, Seoul, Republic of Korea, during their MCTP call-on.

The discussion drew upon my experience as Minister (Economic) at the Embassy of India, Washington, D.C., where I had the opportunity to work extensively on India–US economic and financial cooperation, investment facilitation, and engagement with multilateral financial institutions, including the World Bank and IMF. We exchanged views on the evolving global economic landscape and the growing importance of economic diplomacy in advancing India's development priorities.

We explored the immense potential of positioning Assam as India's gateway to Southeast and East Asia by strengthening international partnerships across strategic sectors. The conversation focused on opportunities in power and energy, semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, promotion of One District One Product (ODOP) initiatives, greater market access for Assam's GI-tagged products, and expanding trade and investment linkages with emerging global markets. We also discussed leveraging India's partnerships in Asia and beyond to integrate Assam more closely with regional and global value chains.

It was encouraging to receive their appreciation for Assam's well-executed Skill Development Mission, which is creating a future-ready workforce and reinforcing the State's competitiveness as an emerging investment destination. Such exchanges reaffirm the importance of collaborative governance and international engagement in accelerating Assam's economic transformation.
