Minister urges new public officials to serve with integrity, dedication

Fisheries, Livestock, and Agriculture Minister Mohammed Amin Ur Rashid on Sunday urged newly appointed public service officers to execute their duties with honesty, dedication, and professionalism, applying their intellect and skill to shape the nation's future.

​"The country's future significantly hinges on your decisions and sense of responsibility," the minister said while addressing an orientation programme for newly appointed officers of the 45th BCS (Fisheries and Livestock) cadres at the Ministry’s conference room in the Bangladesh Secretariat, said a press release.

Noting that a government officer’s career spans roughly 25 to 32 years, the minister emphasised that this long tenure offers an extensive opportunity for policy formulation and implementation.

He called upon the officers to work collectively, driven by patriotism, to build a safer, more liveable, and prosperous Bangladesh for future generations.

Highlighting food safety, Rashid stressed that safety must be ensured not only in the final production of fish, meat, milk, and eggs, but also across all inputs used in the production process.

He specifically tasked the young officers with taking an active role in curbing the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in the livestock and fisheries sectors.

Antibiotic residues entering the human body through food heighten the risk of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), making the rational and controlled use of antibiotics imperative, he warned.

State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku remarked that success at every stage of life requires struggle, perseverance, and dedication.

He urged the new officers to demonstrate competence in the workplace and fulfill state expectations with strong moral standards.

The event was attended by Fisheries and Livestock Secretary Md Delwar Hossain, Director General of the Department of Livestock Services Md Shahzaman Khan, Director General of the Department of Fisheries Md Khaled Kanak, senior ministry officials, and 46 newly recruited officers, 25 from the Fisheries cadre and 21 from the Livestock cadre.
