Reach out to people, sort out their issues in faster manner Says Odisha CM to collectors

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday asked collectors to reach out to more and more people, find out their issues of concern, and use technology to sort them out in a faster, simple and hassle-free manner.

While inaugurating a two-day conference of senior officers including collectors here, Patnaik said, “I would like to see all our development projects are implemented in the shortest possible time and our welfare initiatives reach all the legitimate beneficiaries.”

There should be a competition among districts for realisation of goals, and set benchmarks for others, he added.

Stating that Odisha has been at the forefront of many states for its transformative initiatives, Patnaik said, sports, healthcare, school transformation, women empowerment, skill development, crop production, Covid management are some of the sectors that attract special mention.
