‘Shift all govt offices from rented buildings’
The CM, meanwhile, instructed the officials to shift all government offices functioning from rented buildings to government buildings by January 26. During the meeting, he
also instructed them to submit comprehensive department-wise details related to regular, outsourced and contract employees to the chief secretary before the Republic Day.
The chief minister said: “In the last two years, the government achieved many successes and prepared some developmental plans. As there were no specific policies for energy, health and education sectors, the government faced a few problems. To address those issues, the government unveiled the Telangana Rising Vision Document 2047. Under this policy document, the state has been divided into CURE, PURE and RARE regions for developmental activities.”
Asking officials to work with accountability, he said that the chief secretary will be reviewing the performance of officials every month. He also said that secretaries should submit monthly reports to the chief secretary. “I myself will review the performance of officials every three months. Officials should work with coordination for better results,” he added.
