“Our duty is to serve, not to rule. The essence of governance lies in uplifting communities, solving problems and leading with compassion,” he told the gathering.
The APPSCCE is the state’s premier examination for recruiting officers to various Group A and Group B positions in the government.
Khandu also made a special mention of the eight differently-abled candidates among the successful aspirants, calling their achievement “a source of inspiration.”
“Your success is a beacon of hope, showing that with determination nothing is impossible,” he wrote later on X.
