---

SAVAR, Sept 9 (UNB): Chief Adviser (CA) Fakhruddin Ahmed has asked the young government officials to always remember they are servants of the Republic and functionaries of a democracy where people are passionate about their rights.
The CA said this while addressing the closing function of the 39th Foundation Training Course for government officials at the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre (BAPTC) auditorium here Sunday.
"Good governance must not just be an aspiration, but a regular feature of your daily life. No action of a public official must erode in any way or transgress the fundamental rights of a citizen", Fakhruddin told the civil servants at the function.
He urged them to perform their duties without fear or favour in conformity with the values that are the attributes of an apolitical public service system in a modern democracy.
Some 206 government officials completed the four-month-long 39th foundation course.
The chief adviser distributed certificates and medals among the top 10 officials who completed the training course with distinction.
Adviser for Finance and Planning, and Commerce AB Mirza Azizul Islam, Adviser for Education Ayub Quadri and BAPTC Rector AM Moniruzzaman Khan also spoke at the function.
The CA said destiny has provided the civil servants with a great opportunity and it's a chance to help the nation and to further develop the country.
He said a sense of obligation to human rights and rule of law must be the guiding principle of the activities of the government officials and they must resolutely implement policies that the government will set for the nation.
Recalling the memory of his professional life as a young civil servant, Fakhruddin said: "I too cherished the training that I went through to equip me for my responsibility."
