Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday inaugurated a three-day session of bureaucrats at LBSNAA, Mussoorie, aimed at finding ways to build a strong Uttarakhand by 2025 and said he was expecting some practical solutions from the "Chintan Shivir" to speed up dev♒elopment.
Dhaౠmi asked the bureaucrats to give up the mindset of working from 10 am to 5 pm if they wanted to make a difference.
He also flagged the the slow movement of files between government departments, saying itไ was a big hurdle in the timely realisation of development goals.
"It is you who execute all programmes and policies...let us get out of the culture of sti🧜cking t🔯o a 10-5 routine and be ready to take pains to build a strong Uttarakhand by 2025," Dhami said.
The tendency of one department blaming the other for the delays should also b🌳e discarded as it further complicates things, he added.
"We must simplify inter-departmental pro🍃cedures to achieve our targets," the chief minister said.
Dhami pointed out sectors🌳 like tourism, yoga, hydr𝐆oelectricity and horticulture, saying the state was yet to fully realise its potential in these areas.
"A thought should also be given to the low contribution of just 2 per cent to the Gross State Domestic Product by hilly🦂 districts like Chamoli, Bageshwar and Rudraprayag," he said.
The chief minister asked senior officers to pre🅠pare the annual confidential reports on the basis of tasks assigned to officials during a given period and their rate of success in executing them.
"Powerpoint presentations made on occasions like these are always good. But the effo🦄rt should be to go beyond them," he said.
"I hopไe 💖some practical suggestions would emerge out of the camp which help in the ongoing efforts to build a strong Uttarakhand by 2025," he said.
