Officers should stay steadfast in their duties: CM Bhupesh Baghel

Raipur: Chief minister
Bhupesh Baghel chaired a meeting of officers from Balrampur-Ramanujganj
district in Rajpur today and discussed the development schemes for the
district. While chief minister appreciated the achievements and good works of
the officers, he also advised them to stay steadfast in their duties.

He asked the officials
to be careful of even the minute details of their works because even a small
mistake can cost heavy to poor families. He gave example of a woman beneficiary
who had to purchase ration on retail for two years, because issuance of her
ration card was delayed. Why was not her problem address during the review,
asked chief minister. He directed the officials to ensure that people get all
the benefits of the government schemes.

Chief minister said
that the efficiency, behavior and interaction of the officials is what creates
or destroys the image of a government. Hence, it is important that the
government officers perform their duties with dedication and efficiency.
Mentioning the feedback he received from the people of three villages in Kusmi
Vidhan Sabha on May 4, Chief Minister said that people have a positive outlook
towards the government.

Referring to the plan
to develop Gauthans as Rural Industrial Parks, Chief Minister said that people
in villages are skilled and have been doing the work of carpentry and
blacksmith from generations. They just need to be encouraged. One or two
Gauthans should be developed into a model rural industrial park in each block
as a pilot project.

Chief minister said
that the healthcare system in the government hospitals has been significantly
improved. Shri Dhanwantri Generic Medical Stores have been started. Medicines
and doctors are available in hospitals. Haat Bazar Clinic Scheme, Urban Slum
Health Scheme, Dai-Didi Clinic Scheme are being implemented as well.

Chief minister said
that there is a need to rectify the minor shortcomings in all the departments.
In the presence of senior administrative officers from Raipur, Baghel directed
the district officers to ensure proper implementation of the development
schemes and programs for the convenience of the residents of the district. Baghel
got acquainted with the officers and took note of their problems as well. Chief
minister assured the officers that they would be provided every possible
support from the government as per rules.
