Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary IYR Krishna Rao chaired a meeting on Thursday with all the secretaries to review and discuss cyclone preparedness, E-Office system, Aadhaar card status, double digit growth (DDG) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
The Chief Secretary interacted through video-conference with Resident Commissioner, AP Bhavan, Anil Singhal, on the issues pending with the Centre. The resident commissioner informed the current status of establishing Rapid Action Force (RAF) at Visakhapatnam, railway line between Nadikudi and Srikalahasthi, irrigation projects-Buckingham Canal, establishment of State Cancer Institute at Tirupati.
Krishna Rao directed the officers concerned to send a proposal to the Union government for setting up National Centre of Ayurveda, near AIIMS, in Guntur district.
The Chief Secretary directed all the secretaries to make use of the portal which was created by the State government to work effectively and follow up on pending issues and obtain grants under the Central schemes.
He said that an action plan may be prepared to open department-wise control room and call centre at the State level with a toll-free number to monitor the issues related to the service departments. Powers may be delegated to district collectors for appointing doctors temporarily in government hospitals.
A committee may be formed with the special Chief Secretary, Planning and Information Technology officials to monitor the digitisation of files in district offices to achieve paperless offices. Reviewing cyclone preparedness, the Chief Secretary said that in case of any eventuality like cyclone, preparedness will always help and minimise losses.
The officers are to be fully prepared for pre and post-cyclone situation and officials should maintain team spirit and render their best services with men and machineries in case disastrous situations arise, the Chief Secretary said. He also directed the commissioner, Disaster Management, to get the cyclone stores ready by November.
The implementation of e-Office was also discussed and it was decided to have an action plan for digitisation, scanning of files both in the districts as well as in HoD offices and to go for total computerisation at all levels in the government right from the districts.
