Andhra CM urges govt. departments to work towards public empowerment

ANI  |  Amravati (Andhra Pradesh) [India] 

Chandrababu on Friday asserted that all government departments should work towards the benefit of the people and should amalgamate with public empowerment survey and people's hub to do so.

"All government departments should integrate with public empowerment survey and people's hub. Like Panchayat Raj, all other departments also should update their with each village's information," said at the Collectors Conference.

He added that social welfare department has been acting as the "nodal agency" for various government departments.

"Now we are able to pay scholarships to the students in real time, which is a great achievement.

Earlier, scholarships payment used to take a couple of years of time," added.

He also said that planning might be centralised, but implementation should be decentralised for better results.

"All SC, ST backlog posts are being filled up. Collectors should take up the initiative to complete the process by the end of January," added.
