In times of rising public aspirations, the political leadership, officialdom and employees will have to work as a team to ensure satisfactory delivery of public services. Chief minister Harish Rawat said this at a meet of administrative officials at the Secretariat on Thursday. Stressing on the need to focus on service delivery system, he assured the officers full support in works undertaken in public interest.
“Public aspirations are rising in the age of media explosion. The public now wants immediate results and we have to ascertain how to meet public expectations on time. The media often points out shortcomings in the administration which should be taken positively without letting it affect self-confidence,” he said. Chief secretary N Ravishankar assured the CM that the officers would work to their full capacity and abilities for meeting the priorities of the State Government. Additional chief secretaries Rakesh Sharma, S Raju, principal secretaries Om Prakash, Radha Raturi, Dr Ranvir Singh and other bureaucrats were also present.
