Ladies & Gentlemen
It is my proud privilege to extend a warm welcome to Hon’ble Prime
Minister, Hon’ble Minister for Home Affairs, Hon’ble Minister of State for
Personnel, other dignatories on the Dais and distinguished guests on behalf of
the CBI fraternity and my own behalf.
Today is a historic day for CBI when Foundation Stone of CBI Head Office
Building is to be unveiled by Hon’ble Prime Minister. This occasion becomes
even more noteworthy as the Government has decided to provide Rs. 134 crores
from plan allocation for the CBI Head Office Building.
Sir, today’s ceremony is a
great leap forward for CBI. Over
the years, CBI has evolved as our country’s premier investigating agency with
high credibility, exemplary professionalism and quiet efficiency through
commitment, sincerity, hard work and integrity displayed collectively by the
members of the CBI. However, we in
CBI are conscious of our failings as well and shall constantly strive to improve
our performance to make CBI less fallible.
We envision CBI as a critical component of good governance, efficient
dispensation of justice and through its investigational efforts to uphold the
primacy of the rule of law and upholding of human rights.
To carry out this onerous responsibility successfully, we will review our
overall functioning; empower investigating and law officers through adoption of
latest technologies, training, efficient means of communications, mobility and
efficient workspace with the help and support of the Government.
We have to improve upon our professional standards and investigational
skills to ensure that investigations are finalised in objective manner and in
quickest possible time besides maintaining integrity and quality of
investigation as per law and in a transparent manner.
We shall have to identify and define our problem areas and work on them
together with the Government to find effective and quick solutions- may be in a
Mission mode so that CBI contributes in a meaningful manner to quick justice,
good governance and allround development of the country.
I also take the opportunity to thank Hon’ble Prime Minister and
Hon’ble Minister of State for Personnel for approving the CBI proposal for an
exclusive CBI Head Office Building and hope that Government shall continue to
support CBI in meeting its operational requirements.
I once again extend very warm welcome to you, Hon’ble Prime Minister,
Sir.
