Dharamshala: The Public
Service Commission (PSC) on Saturday organized a talk on imparting
ethics to the officials of the Central Tibetan Administration and their
responsibilities. The talk was held at Gangkyi staff cafeteria.
In his opening remarks, PSC Chairman Mr Tashi Phuntsok
expressed his hope that such talks by resource persons to the staff
members on a regular basis would be helpful in improving the efficiency
of CTA.
The officials should also be aware of the present political situation
inside Tibet, he added.
Resource person, Education Secretary Ven Karma Gelek Yuthok, spoke on the code of conduct and responsibilities of CTA officials.

Underlining the importance of improving quality and proficiency
of staff members, he said, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has laid focus
on improving the image of CTA officials to win the respect of Tibetan
masses.
He added: “Under a democratic set up and rule of law, winning the respect of our people is the most important thing.”
He further said: “While doing their duties, the officials should
have a positive motivation of taking a big responsibility in carrying
forward the Tibetan struggle under the leadership of His Holiness the
Dalai Lama.”
“We should put our best effort in fulfilling our duties, while
considering the overwhelming gratitude of His Holiness – to keep the
bond between us and His Holiness as envisioned by him,” he added.

Relating it with spiritual implications, he said, the positive
fruits of your work would be so enormous – while one also has to bear
results of dereliction and negligence in one’s service.

members on the political situation inside Tibet. He highlighted issues
ranging from lack of political freedom including freedom of religion,
poor human right situation, smear campaign targeted at His Holiness the
Dalai Lama.
He said: “Effort should be made to keep alive the spirit of our
people living in Tibet by making our selves aware of their patriotism
and services.”
