The closing ceremony of the fifteen days residential induction training on “Developing Competencies for Administrative Service Excellence (Dev-CASE) for newly appointed Survey Officers of Government of Nepal was conducted on 16 Bhadra 2083 at the Araniko Hall, Sampada Sadan, NASC.
Speaking on behalf of the participants, Ms. Sangeeta B.C. highlighted the distinctive administrative components incorporated into the training. She particularly appreciated modules on civil service culture and professional etiquette, which she noted had enhanced the participants’ understanding beyond their technical responsibilities. She also provided feedback to NASC, emphasizing the importance of sustaining the professional bonds and camaraderie developed among participants during the training. Likewise, Mr. Manish Timilsina expressed his gratitude to NASC for providing the participants with the opportunity to enhance their administrative competencies.
Mr. Janak Raj Joshi, Executive Director, Land Management Training Centre (LMTC), highlighted the broader purpose of the training for survey officers. He emphasized that participants had not joined the programme merely to acquire knowledge, but to develop competencies that could be meaningfully applied in their workplaces. He stressed that knowledge and skills become valuable only when reflected in professional practice. He also described NASC as a place of motivation and encouraged the participants to translate their learning into improved performance and service delivery at their respective workplaces.
Addressing the participants, Mr. Trilochan Pokharel, Head of Department, Public Service Training Department (PSTD), thanked them for their appreciation and feedback. He emphasized NASC’s responsibility to preserve and further strengthen the goodwill it has earned through continuous effort. He noted that appreciation alone should not lead to complacency, as it could stagnate the processes of innovation and learning. Reflecting on the challenging circumstances and recent catastrophic events, he acknowledged that the future may be difficult for public officials and underscored the need for resilience and preparedness. He further emphasized that knowledge must be practical and hands-on, and that its effective application ultimately depends on individual commitment. He urged public officials to continuously reflect on how they can become more trustworthy to citizens and contribute to restoring the image and credibility of public service, which has been eroding over time.
Mr. Basanta Raj Sigdel, Officiating Executive Director, NASC, distributed certificates of completion to the participants and congratulated them on successfully completing the training. He expressed his appreciation for the collaboration between NASC and LMTC, describing the programme as a landmark achievement for NASC. He emphasized that every individual possesses unique competencies and learning attitudes, and encouraged the participants to continue developing themselves through continuous learning and practice. Reaffirming NASC’s commitment to excellence, he highlighted the importance of “अभ्यास, अनुभव र अनुभूति” as the foundation for meaningful learning, professional growth, and excellence in public service.
The programme was hosted by course coordinator Ms. Roshani Bhujel.
