Collectors, who bridge gaps between a common man and the government, play a significant role in administration. Raje government, on the verge of completion of 3 years in Rajasthan, called in a meeting of district collectors and SPs at Convention Hall of Jaipur CMO on November 24. At the inauguration of Collector-SP conference, the CM urged government representatives to play the role of a vigilant and active team leader, who works in favour of the public. She directed the concerned officers to simplify citizen-government interface by generating public awareness regarding government’s flagship schemes. This would result in effective communication and direct delivery of benefits to the people.

CM Vasundhara Raje, who works like an administrative officer herself, is prompt and observant when it comes to work. Taking it as an example, she asked the collectors to reflect vigour and promptness at work. Here are some excerpts from her speech today.

CM Raje Directed the Collectors to Work in Favour of Progressive, Economically Stable Rajasthan

  • Rajasthan government looks forward to social development and superior infrastructure in Rajasthan. Water, Electricity, Health, Roads, Employment and Education are chief agendas on her list that reflect the her principles of ‘Suraj’ (Good Governance). Keeping this in mind, she asked the collectors to delve into these areas and come up with concrete strategies to eliminate grievances in each category.
  • She asked the collectors and departmental officers to undertake regular tours of their work sites ensure effective implementation of budget announcements. They must conduct review meetings every week to monitor the progress of various developmental projects in state.
  • Stressing on the importance of cleanliness, hygiene and timely disposal of complains, the CM asked collectors to reach out to natives through Jan Kalyan Shivir. Additionally, she assigned them the task to make their ward ‘Open Defecation Free’ by March 2018.
