Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has directed that officers should make sincere efforts in implementation of promises made in Jansankalp and Vision Document within time-limit and should not become paper heroes. They should ensure implementation at grassroots level. He hailed works undertaken by officers in implementing State Government’s schemes during previous years, but also warned of consequences in case of irregularities.
After taking oath of office as Chouhan made the maiden visit to Mantralaya on Monday and enumerated State Government’s priorities at a meeting with officers. He said that the poor and weaker sections should feel that this is their own Government. All possible efforts should be made to make Madhya Pradesh number one State in the country. The Chief Minister handed over Jansankalp 2013 to Chief Secretary Anthony DeSa and directed him to chalk out an action plan accordingly. He also released Vision 2018.
Chouhan said that the state government has been given mandate. People have shown trust that we have done better work. It is the result of Team Madhya Pradesh’s efforts. Now, engage with full might in living upto people’s expectations. It is the rule by people. All arrangements are for common people in democracy. Work with commitment, passion and dedication for developing Madhya Pradesh as the best state.
He said that administration should be capable of taking decisions and implementing them immediately. Different departments should take up resolves for them. Schemes’ should be time-bound and there should be different plans for works to be done immediately, within a year and long-term duration. All departments should chalk out 100-day action plan, which should be prepared within a week.
The Chief Minister said that there will be zero tolerance against corruption. Set-up of Professional Exam Board should be improved and process should be made transparent. No one is allowed to take undue advantage of power. All are our friends, but no one will be allowed to do wrong at any cost. Immediate information should be given to the Chief Minister or Chief Secretary in case any difficulty arises. Take decision with good intentions, do not take risk. State government will always stand by you if intentions are bonafide.
