Setting the target of achieving cent per cent literacy by November 9, 2020, work should be undertaken in mission mode. The experiments being undertaken in the administration should be focused on the common man. Work should be executed with team spirit and the target should be fixed for every effort. Chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said this while addressing the district magistrates meet held as part of the IAS week at the secretariat here on Tuesday.
Addressing the officials, Rawat said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has laid special emphasis on three T’s- trade, technology and tourism. Stressing on the need for special focus on these three sectors, he said that those who get the chance to serve the public also have a greater responsibility. Rawat said that officials should ensure that the benefit of the various government schemes reaches the residents of remote areas too. Expressing happiness at the innovations by officials at the district level, he said that the target should be ascertained and efforts should be made to achieve it. Districts magistrates should encourage their colleagues especially as the work becomes simpler when the team is enthusiastic.
He said, “Considering urbanisation, special focus should be laid on sanitation. It should become part of the routine. Campaigns should be conducted consistently in order to achieve this. The district magistrates should also maintain regular communication with the prominent members of society and social workers and take their feedback and suggestions. Malnourished children should be adopted and the improvement in their condition should be monitored regularly,” said Rawat.
The chief minister further said that tree plantation will be carried out across the state on the occasion of Harela this year. Setting the target of achieving cent per cent literacy by November 9, 2020, work should be undertaken in mission mode. If every person decides to make one illiterate person literate, the target of cent per cent literacy can be achieved. While starting any developmental work, the time of its completion should also be fixed. Further, efforts should also be undertaken to make the districts self reliant. Efforts should be made to ensure that the demands of the district are met by the products manufactured and produced in that district itself, said Rawat.Speaking on the occasion, the chief secretary Utpal Kumar Singh said that the IAS week this year was different in many aspects.
