A group of officer trainees of the Indian Audit and Accounts Service, Indian Railway Protection Force Service, Indian Railway Management Service (Accounts) and Indian Railway Management Service (Traffic) called on the President of India, Smt Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan today (February 24, 2025).
Addressing the Indian Audit and Accounts Service officers, the President said that they have a role to play in the great national effort of making India a developed nation by the year 2047. She advised them to keep in mind the provisions of the Indian Constitution which is the basis of the entire institution of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. She said that while Chapter-V of Part-V of the Constitution makes them aware of the role, duties and powers of the institution, the Preamble of the Constitution and the oath of the CAG should be the guiding spirits of each and everyone in the discharge of the important roles and duties of their institution. She urged them to guide and facilitate the stakeholders with innovative solutions. She said that their role as friend, philosopher and guide will be as important as that of a monitor and controller.
