"
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.
