Terming the 2021 batch civil servants as the 'Architects of Century India', Singh said that when India is celebrating 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' coinciding with the 75th year of Independence, this batch with 25 to 30 years of active service ahead will charter a new course when Independent India turns 100.
