Government officials should always give patient hearing to the grievances of the general public. Being a Chief Minister, I meet large number of people everyday. Each one of them has a different problem or grievance to convey.
I listen to them patiently and attentively, stated Chief Minister Raman Singh while talking to the trainee officers of 2012 batch of Indian Administrative Service (IAS), who had come to pay a courtesy visit to him at his residence on Saturday.
'Officers should have lot of patience and tolerance to listen to the people's grievances as public service is our foremost responsibility, he said.The 2012 batch officers are currently taking up training at Chhattisgarh Administration Academy as per the given training schedule.
The Chief Minister stated that the young officers have a long way to go in their career. ‘Every Government scheme is meant for public. Hence, the new officers should prepare themselves for playing an important role in ensuring that the benefits of these schemes reach maximum number of needy people. ‘ During their future postings, the officers will have to visit the districts of their work area quite frequently, and thereby interact with the public. This is the way they can learn about the ground reality of implementation of the schemes and prevalent public grievances, Singh said.
The Chief Minister congratulated the new officers and expressed his wish that the officers will learn a lot from the training and experience they are getting in Chhattisgarh.On the occasion, General Director of Chhattisgarh Administration Academy Mudit Kumar Singh introduced the new trainee officers to the Chief Minister.
