Prime Minister shares a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting public service as the biggest test of good governance and earning public trust
June 10, 2026

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam today highlighting that public service is the biggest test of good governance. The Prime Minister noted that a person who works continuously with humility, dedication, and devotion to duty alone earns public trust.

The Prime Minister wrote on X:

"जनसेवा ही सुशासन की सबसे बड़ी कसौटी है। विनम्रता, समर्पण और कर्तव्यनिष्ठा के साथ निरंतर कार्य करने वाला व्यक्ति ही जनविश्वास अर्जित करता है।

सदानुरक्तप्रकृतिः प्रजापालनतत्परः।
विनीतात्मा हि नृपतिर्भूयसी श्रियमश्नुते॥"

A people's representative who regards service as a sacred duty, works tirelessly for the welfare of the people, ensures their security and well-being through good governance and remains dedicated to the progress of society with humility, self-discipline and a commitment to development, truly earns the trust of the people, honor, recognition and prosperity.
