Citizen Charter

Last Updated on: March 03, 2025

Spirit behind the Citizen Charter:

A customer is the most important visitor in our premises. He is not dependent on us; we are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in our work; he is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider to our business; he is part of it. We are not doing him a favour by serving him; he is doing a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so.

----- Mahatma Gandhi
