Hyderabad: The six-week First Foundation Course for Direct Recruit Group-II Service Officers of Telangana State, conducted by Dr. MCR HRD Institute, via Virtual Mode, came to an end today.
B Vinod Kumar, Vice Chairman, Telangana State Planning Board, who was the Chief Guest at the Valedictory Function, said in his address via Virtual Mode, that the historic reorganization of Telangana districts, from 10 to 33, has not only provided for focused and better administration but also brought in its wake multifarious beneficial outcomes for Government employees in terms of challenging assignments and exciting promotion opportunities.
Continuing his address, Vinod Kumar stated that the reorganization of districts has also enabled
officers to ensure effective launching, monitoring, and implementation of ambitious programs of Government and thereby changing people’s perceptions towards governance and giving them confidence that administration is accessible to them. “Telangana State has introduced several reforms
in irrigation, industry, infrastructure, education, health, welfare, etc., and thereby emerged as a role model for other State Governments, from across the country”, he said, with a sense of pride, and called upon the Officers to contribute their best efforts to this challenging growth trajectory.
Dr G R Reddy, (Retd), Advisor to Government (Finance), Government of Telangana, who was
the Guest of Honor, advised the Officer Trainees to contribute their optimum best to enriching quality
of governance, which ultimately determines the fate of nations, rather than mere availability of resources. He advised the Officer Trainees to learn continuously, contribute to the process of innovation in governance, face the challenges head-on, and serve different sections of society in order
to fully realize the dream of Bangaru Telangana.
B P Acharya, DG of the Institute &Spl Chief Secretary to Govt. of Telangana, in his Presidential Address, said that the Foundation Course for 475 Group-II Officers is the largest-ever training program conducted by the Institute. Continuing his address, he stated that Group-II Officers work at the middle rungs of the administrative hierarchy, which is a unique characteristic of their positions, and, therefore, represent an important component of structure of governance. He, therefore, advised them not only to help their higher ups in taking right decisions but also motivating and mentoring lower level officers.

On this occasion, B P Acharya, launched “MCRHRDIT Alumni Connect (MAC)”, by unveiling its Logo, for a live interface between All India Services, Central Civil Services, and Military Engineering Services Officers and the Institute.
