Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has urged district Collectors to spend more time in villages rather than in air-conditioned rooms. He emphasized the importance of understanding the ground-level situation by visiting villages regularly.
During a Collectors’ conference, Revanth stressed the government’s commitment to providing transparent and welfare-oriented governance. He instructed Collectors to fulfill their duties by considering the aspirations of the people and acting as a bridge between the government and the public.
Revanth also encouraged Collectors, especially those from outside Telangana, to learn the local language and immerse themselves in the state’s culture. This, he believes, will help them better connect with the people and make a lasting impact on their hearts.
At the conference, it was decided that pending Dharani applications would be resolved promptly. The Chief Minister set a deadline of August 15 for clearing all pending applications. Additionally, plans were made to create digital health profiles for everyone and extend the Arogyasri scheme to all individuals, not just those with white ration cards.
To address healthcare challenges, Collectors were asked to offer special incentives to doctors willing to work in rural areas. The meeting also discussed assigning serial numbers to beds in government hospitals and improving medical facilities in tribal areas. Revanth proposed relieving experienced specialty doctors of management responsibilities to focus on medical treatment.
In response to illegal occupation of government lands, the CM directed Collectors to safeguard government properties, ponds, and water bodies across all districts. He suggested using geo-tagging technology and maintaining strict vigilance to protect government lands from encroachment.
