PIONEER EDGE NEWS SERVICE/ Dehradun
Chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said that the resolution to make India a developed nation by 2047 can only be realised when every state of the country becomes developed. He said Uttarakhand will also have to chalk-out a clear and long-term direction for development in sync with its resources, capabilities and specificities. He was addressing the officers of the State administration during the ‘Chintan Shivir and Dialogue on vision 2047’ organised at the Civil Services Institute on Friday.
Dhami said that the Viksit Bharat resolution of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a comprehensive and long-term national perspective that encompasses the resolution to establish India as an economically, socially, technologically, strategically, culturally empowered and self-reliant global leader. The greatest feature of this vision is that development has not been kept limited to statistics alone, but has been made human-centric, inclusive and sustainable. He said that the administration must not only work with speed and transparency but also implement every policy, decision and plan with a goal-oriented and people-centric vision.
The CM said that the officers should not limit their work to merely giving orders or holding meetings, but should complete every task falling within their domain with innovation, transparency, a time-bound and result-oriented approach and with promptness and accountability.
Dhami said that the State government is preparing a roadmap to realise the resolution of ‘Developed India through Developed Uttarakhand’. Exhorting the officers to rise above departmental boundaries and prepare a clear action plan for the next twenty-five years by coordination among all departments to realise Vision 2047. “We must move beyond the solo player mindset and work as Team Uttarakhand,’’ he said.
In his address, the CM said that the foundation of developed Uttarakhand rests on the three pillars of good governance, technology and innovation and people-centric sustainable and balanced development. He said that in an environmentally sensitive state like Uttarakhand, it is extremely necessary to maintain a balance between development and environment. Disaster management must be made an integral part of the development plan.
He said that officers must determine clear outputs and outcomes for every plan. “Your every decision does not just affect today but also determines the direction of the coming future. As administrative officers, the positive changes brought about in the lives of the public through your decisions, work and policies will become your real identity in the future. Therefore, do not consider your duties as just administrative responsibility, but fulfil them by considering them an opportunity for social service and nation-building,’’ he said.
The chief executive officer of SETU commission, Shatrughna Singh, principal secretary RK Sudhanshu, R Meenakshi Sundaram, programme director from NITI Aayog Neelam Patel, IAS officers and experts on various subjects attended the conclave.
