Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh today attended the 14th Foundation Day Celebration of Creative Circle Coaching Institute along with the felicitation programme for the successful candidates of the Manipur Public Service Commission (MPSC) 2022 batch, held at Hotel Imolesh, Old Lambulane, Imphal.
Speaking as the Chief Guest, the Chief Minister lauded Creative Circle for its unwavering commitment towards nurturing civil service aspirants despite numerous challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the prevailing law & order situation in the State. He said that the institute’s continued efforts in coaching and mentoring aspirants in various competitive examinations are highly commendable and have contributed significantly to producing capable officers for Manipur.
Addressing the newly selected MPSC 2022 candidates, the Chief Minister asked whether they had any doubts regarding the lack of transparency in the recruitment process. Receiving a unanimous response of “No” from the successful candidates, he stated that transparency and fairness remained the Government’s foremost priority.
The Chief Minister said that he deliberately refrained from contacting or meeting the Chairman of the Manipur Public Service Commission before the declaration of the examination results. He added that he only congratulated the Chairman after the results were announced, as he wanted the entire recruitment process to remain transparent, impartial and free from any external influence.
Expressing satisfaction over the outcome, Yumnam Khemchand said that the Government was pleased that the selected candidates have earned their success through merit and possess a clean image. He further remarked that a transparent recruitment system strengthens public confidence in governance and institutions.
The Chief Minister also informed that the Chief Minister’s Scholarship Scheme for Civil Services has been implemented by the BJP-led Government in the state with a provision of Rs. 2.8 crore annually. Under the scheme, top 200 civil service aspirants will receive full scholarship for their preparation, reaffirming the Government’s commitment towards encouraging talented youth to join public service.
RK Nimai Singh (retired IAS), congratulated the successful candidates and urged them to uphold integrity, honesty and dedication throughout their careers. He advised them to stay away from corruption, drug abuse and other unethical practices that could tarnish the image of the civil services. He also emphasised that officers selected through the MPSC play a vital role in the State’s development as they possess a deep understanding of Manipur’s needs and aspirations.
During the programme, the Chief Minister, along with other dignitaries, felicitated the successful candidates of the MPSC 2022 examination in recognition of their achievement.
Thangjam Brojen (retired IPS), Dr. B. Lalhari Sharma, (Retired Principal of G.P. Women’s College), faculty members of Creative Circle Coaching Institute, parents, students and well-wishers, among others attended the function.
