Technical skill alone is not sufficient, and a student should have the qualities of attitude, teamwork, openness, mutual respect, humility, ethics, transparency, and objectivity to succeed both in career and life, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Principal Secretary P. K. Mishra said. Addressing the convocation ceremony of the Indian Institute of Management, Mumbai on Saturday (September 20, 2025), Mr. Mishra said teamwork was probably a much more important than individual brilliance.
On human resource development, Mr. Mishra urged the fresh graduates to embrace continuous learning, noting that knowledge quickly becomes obsolete in a fast-changing world. He underscored the challenge of instilling values in large organisations, and the need for sustained motivation. On the evolving architecture of administrative reforms, Mr. Mishra said the strategic shift in personnel management since 2014 was aimed at building a “21st century civil service”.
