Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel delivered a clear message to district collectors on Friday. He urged them to lead administrative operations with honesty, integrity, competence, and effectiveness. The Chief Minister addressed officials during a day-long collectors' conference held in Gandhinagar.
Focus on Field Visits and Monitoring
Patel stressed the critical need for regular field visits by collectors. He emphasized close monitoring of government scheme implementation. This hands-on approach aims to ensure schemes reach beneficiaries effectively.
Strengthening Grievance Redressal
The Chief Minister underscored the importance of robust grievance redressal mechanisms at the district level. He directed collectors to resolve issues locally whenever possible. This strategy prevents unnecessary escalation to higher authorities.
Patel highlighted that local resolution enables quick, transparent, and effective solutions for citizens. He called for prompt action on matters that district administrations can handle independently.
Ensuring Uniform Implementation
Another key focus was coordination among collectors. Patel asked them to work together to ensure uniform interpretation and implementation of government circulars and regulations across all districts.
This coordinated effort facilitates smoother administrative functioning throughout Gujarat. It helps maintain consistency in how policies are applied in different regions.
Revenue Department Priorities
During the conference, the Additional Chief Secretary of the Revenue Department addressed capacity building needs. He highlighted the importance of training district-level staff.
This training ensures that benefits from revenue simplification initiatives effectively reach the grassroots level. Well-trained staff can implement reforms more efficiently.
Conference Discussions and Reviews
The conference featured detailed reviews and discussions on several key aspects of the revenue department. Participants examined i-ORA and e-Dhara systems along with allied activities.
Other discussion topics included ongoing departmental projects, various land-related matters, integrated laws and resolutions, and the pendency of cases. These comprehensive reviews aim to identify areas for improvement.
The Gandhinagar conference served as a platform for aligning district administration with state government priorities. Chief Minister Patel's directives emphasize practical governance and citizen-centric services.
