“If the public does not support civil servants, it should serve as a warning to work with conviction and personal commitment.”

He said that Government of Sindh will continue to own NIM Karachi as our own institute and will further strengthen ties and collaborate with it and extend all necessary support to the extent possible to fulfill the professional needs of the participants.
Murad Shah said the mandatory requirement for promotion to BS-20 ranks has provided a platform for all officers to update their knowledge base and brush up their skills, enabling them to tackle political and service delivery issues.
A public servant neither changes jobs routinely nor her dividends are as financially attractive as in the private business or corporate sector despite having competitive qualifications and professional skills, the CM said, adding that he is confident that the public servant will honor their commitment with confidence . without fear or reward.
According to the CM, the key function of a professional civil service in any society is to implement the policies of the incumbent government with full commitment, dedication and professional acumen.
The Government of Sindh is aware of the huge challenges faced by the citizens and is making every effort to provide maximum assistance and public services to the people of Sindh province by investing in education, health, communication, infrastructure, housing and social protection. said the Chief Minister.
Murad Shah said his government will continue to invest in new development projects to generate maximum economic activity in both rural and urban areas.
