" The impact of the bureaucracy extends far beyond government into the daily lives of the people and the welfare of future generations. Civil Servants must strive for the highest standards, live by higher ideals and nurture a sense of duty towards fellow Bhutanese.

Remember, in Bhutan, it is the bureaucracy's example
that will be followed.
"
