state
Dispur : Chief
Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma today attended the second day of the fifth DC
conference being held in Tinsukia today.
Speaking
on the occasion which was attended among others by the ministers, chief
secretary and other senior officers of the government, Chief Minister Dr. Sarma
said that the State government over the last two years has been on its toes to
usher in an era of hope and promise, as the government has taken a series of steps
to expedite the rate of development in the state. The Chief Minister said that
since the development of the state depends on the equal development of the
districts, all the Deputy Commissioners (DCs) of the districts will be assisted
by three ADCs- revenue, infrastructure and social welfare.
He
also said that all the DCs will function like Chief Secretary of the district and
focus on key development parameters. He said that all works related to district
will henceforth be communicated to them directly by the line ministers. Dr.
Sarma also said that the Guardian Ministers will also function as Chief
Minister of the district. District level GDP and progress of flagship schemes
will be monitored on a regular basis to take development to a greater height.
The
Chief Minister said that State government has taken a comprehensive measure for
the collection of GST and other taxes. He said that the system adopted by the
government in paddy procurement has lent farmers’ development a new momentum.
Dr. Sarma during his speech also stated about steps like creation of land bank,
Asom Mala Project, Mission Basundhara etc have created large scale impact on
the development of the state.
He
also said that inauguration of three medical college and hospitals in one year
is unprecedented in the state. Moreover, Orunodoi scheme, Chief Minister’s
Ayushman Asom etc have the potential of expediting the growth trajectory of the
state.
The
Chief Minister also stressed on the importance of equal development of all the
districts across the state. He said that if any particular district lags behind
in implementing government schemes, the DC of that particular district will go
to another district which has shown phenomenal successes in implementing
government schemes. In the next six months Chief Secretary, Additional Chief
Secretary, Guardian Ministers will move different districts where development
has not picked up as per expectation and find out ways and means for such districts
to catch up with the developed districts.
Earlier,
Chief Minister Dr. Sarma inaugurated the newly built convention centre which
has been built using the financial outlay of Rs. 15.60 crore. The Chief
Minister said that DC conference will be held in every six month as the next DC
conference will be held in Lakhimpur. On the other hand the coming SPs’
conference will be held in Bongaigaon in the month of June.
