Go to field to understand ground realities: PM Modi to collectors

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Move beyond files and go to the field to understand ground realities. This was the message of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the district collectors of the country during his first-of-its-kind interaction with them via video conference.

He said the collectors should particularly understand the conditions related to health services in remote parts of the districts, according to a statement issued by the PMO. During the interaction under the theme ‘New India – Manthan`, he said the more a collector visits the field, the more active he will be on files.

The prime minister said collectors must also make people aware about the benefit of initiatives such as LED bulbs, BHIM App etc as many times, schemes fail to have the desired impact, just because people are not aware of them.

Similarly, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan is dependent upon a responsive administration and awareness among people, he said, while emphasising that the real change in this regard can only come through public participation.

Referring to GST, the prime minister asked collectors to explain to traders in their districts how it is a Good and Simple Tax. He asked them to ensure that each trader is registered under GST. He also asked them to avail of Government e-marketplace for all procurement in their district.
