Revanth Reddy wants Collectors to stir out, mingle with people, implement 6 guarantees

HYDERABAD: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy urged officials to treat Telangana as their own state and prioritise the needs of its people.

Addressing a meeting with District Collectors, Police Commissioners, and SPs at Dr BR Ambedkar Telangana Secretariat on Monday, the Chief Minister urged them to embrace Telangana's culture to serve its people effectively. "Only by participating in Telangana culture will you be able to provide proper services to the people," he stated. He stressed the need to consider Telangana as their own state and work towards its progress.

Recalling his first meeting with the collectors on December 24, 2023, Revanth Reddy reiterated his directive to identify genuine beneficiaries of welfare schemes through direct public interaction and applications received through public administration. He highlighted the transparent transfer of collectors after the election code, emphasising that they are the "eyes and ears" of the government.

"Your decisions should have a humane touch, ensuring the well-being of the people," Revanth Reddy stated. He urged the collectors to leave a lasting impact on the common people, drawing inspiration from the legacies of individuals like Shankar and Sridhar, who are fondly remembered for their service.

Emphasising the importance of fieldwork, Revanth Reddy encouraged Collectors to venture beyond their air-conditioned offices and understand the ground realities. "Find out what people think on the ground," he urged. "You will also not be satisfied if you are limited to only AC rooms." He reminded them that every action should reflect the values of a "people's government."

"In this public government, transparent public welfare governance should be provided," Revanth Reddy asserted. He highlighted the government's commitment to education and stated that Rs 85,000 is being spent per student every month. He stressed the need to safeguard the education system and ensure the smooth functioning of government schools and hospitals, urging collectors to take responsibility for their monitoring.

Revanth Reddy shared instances where students became emotional during the transfer of teachers from government schools, signifying the impact of dedicated service. He urged collectors to strive for such recognition from the public. "Even if the collectors are transferred, your work should get such a response from the people," he said.

The Chief Minister urged the collectors to address public grievances promptly, ensure the transparent implementation of the six guarantees, and instill confidence in the people about the administration's commitment to their welfare.
