Unveiling a slew of development projects for West Bengal’s Nadia district, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday said her Government has introduced an administrative calendar to keep track of set targets.

Banerjee said a target-oriented calendar would be issued to each of the State’s 19 districts.“Without a set target, no mission can ever be successful. We have introduced administrative calendars for that reason,” she told reporters at Krishnanagar in Nadia district, about 130 km from the state capital.

The calendar, an attempt to improve the work culture in the state, is the brainchild of Banerjee. A copy of it has been provided to all State Government offices.People can also access information regarding progress of a particular project in their area by logging into the state government’s official website.She said her Government would be generating employment opportunities for over three lakh people through various projects undertaken in the district.
