Minister highlights collective aid culture after loss of senior officers

In his remarks, Dr. Jitendra Singh pointed out that a culture of mutual assistance can transform the way civil services address personal tragedies. He cited the recent assistance given to the families of Mohan Chandra Bhatta and Rajendra Chandra as a testament to the power of collective responsibility.

“The empathy shown by colleagues acts as a positive signal for the entire nation,” Singh said, adding that such gestures reinforce public trust in governmental institutions.

The minister also referenced the CSS Forum’s continuous voluntary fund‑raising efforts, which have already helped numerous families navigate the financial strain following an officer’s death. He called on all departments to emulate this model, ensuring that support mechanisms remain both transparent and responsive.
