'You Know - we Know'
THE Induction Training of the 67th batch of the Indian Revenue Service (Income Tax) was inaugurated by CBDT Chairperson Dr.Sudha Sharma at NADT, Nagpur on Friday. She revealed five mantras to the officer trainees:
(i) Hear your conscience
(ii) Take quick, objective & transparent decision
(iii) When in doubt go Gandhi way - think about the last man on the street
(iv) Never have feeling of a karta and
(v) Control your mind.
She mentioned about the catchy advertisement of the Income Tax department - "You Know - we Know" for encouraging people to file their Income Tax returns. She cautioned the trainees about the allurements that they may face in their life.
This batch consists of 177 trainees including 47 women. The average age of the batch is 28.2 years (a little too old?) and 65 percent of them come with previous job experience (bad for the service?).
Believe me, I believe you and your potential…I want all of you to be ‘thinking' persons, with ingenuity to think ways and means for the development of the Department and the well-being of the nation - extract from the letter titled ‘A Word from Chairperson, CBDT' addressed to the members of the Aayakar family after taking over as the new Chairperson of CBDT.
