Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio today urged upon the Angami Gazetted officers to be dedicated and give extra effort in the service of the people. Speaking at the Silver Jubilee celebration of Angami Gazetted Officers’ Krotho (AGOK) here at Indira Gandhi Stadium, the chief minister asked  the AGOK to use the silver jubilee celebration as a stepping stone for bringing unity, better understanding and creating congenial atmosphere to live in. Rio asserted that a time has come to know how to earn, save and invest so that children will enjoy the fruits.

Saying that running the government is a “serious business”, he said that the sincere and dedicated service of the officers towards the public will bring about smooth functioning of the government. Touching on DAN’s government declaration of the “Year of youth empowerment,” “Year of farmers” and the latest being the “Year of Capacity Building”, Rio called for effectively implementation of the same to benefit the masses. About the setting up of “Quality Control Board”, he called upon the people to focus on quality control in any type of construction, reminding that the absence of quality control will invite liability instead of creating an asset for the state.
