Trainee Civil Servants & MES Probationers Present a First-of-its-Kind Virtual India Day & Cultural Program
The 142 trainee Civil
Servants, including IFS and IPS
Officers, and 34 Military Engineer
Services Probationers, who are attending
online Foundation Courses from 172 different locations, from across the
country, presented a first-of-its-kind Virtual India Day and Cultural Program.
The online Foundation Courses are being conducted by Dr. MCR HRD Institute of Telangana. Senior
Officers, Faculty, and Staff of the Institute logged in, from their respective
residences, and watched the exciting proceedings of the events.
On the occasion of
the India Day, the Officer Trainees were dressed in the traditional attires of
various States. Their family members did
not lag behind; they too joined the celebrations in full force, wore the unique
costumes suitable for their respective age groups, and added to the glamour
quotient of the event. The India Day thereby turned into a vibrant vehicle to
showcase India’s ‘Unity in Diversity’ in terms of its culture and costumes.
The Officer Trainees
presented a feature-rich Cultural Evening, called “Utsav”. As a part of this, they
rendered hit songs in different languages and received a huge round of applause. Such songs, as “Mere
Desh Ki Dharti Sona Ugle, Ugle Heere Moti”, not only uplifted
the mood of the audience but also ignited
the air with the magic of patriotism and pride.
This was followed by
a wave of energetic dance performances from Maharashtra, Rajasthan, UP, Punjab,
Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, etc. which proved to be a grand
treat for the dance enthusiasts. The
dazzling display of colourful costumes and unique jewellery captured the
imagination of one and all. In addition,
the Officer Trainees recited poetry, presented skits on a number of
socially-relevant issues, played instrumental version of ‘vande matram’ and, above
all, paid rich tributes to the martyrs of the recent encounter in J K’s
Handwara.
Sri B P Acharya, IAS, DG, Dr. MCR HRD Institute &
Spl. Chief Secretary to Govt of Telengana said that
organizing a Virtual India Day and Cultural Program, especially during the
lockdown period was a huge challenge. “The successful execution of these events
proved, beyond an iota of doubt, that the Civil Service, which is considered as
the ‘steel frame’ of the country, possesses the requisite competence and
commitment to measure up to the high expectations of different stakeholders”,
he said and added that these events provided a vibrant platform to learn
important lessons in leadership, group dynamics, and intra- and inter-services
coordination.
Sri Harpreet Singh, IAS, ADG of the Institute said that extensive use
of emerging information technologies by the Officer Trainees will be greatly
instrumental in improving their productivity.
The lively
anchoring by Ms Priyanka Roojam Kashyap,
IPS, Ms Aarti Verma, IPoS, Mr Sai Prasad Krishna, ITS, and Mr Keshav Mishra IPS
was an icing on the cake.
