Odisha Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja has issued directives to enhance governance and public service delivery across the state.
At a recent high-level meeting of state secretaries, Ahuja emphasized ten key areas including punctuality, performance accountability, and timely responses to Chief Minister’s Office notes.
One major announcement was the upcoming installation of AI-powered cameras in all district-level government offices to strengthen monitoring and accountability. Additionally, officials who fail to meet performance standards will be closely watched and may be offered voluntary retirement (VRS) as an option.
The government plans to launch a Chief Minister’s Dashboard by October to enable real-time tracking of service delivery progress. District Collectors will conduct monthly reviews of Central schemes, while the Forest & Environment and Revenue departments will have their own review schedules.
Ahuja also stressed the importance of increasing expenditure for faster project implementation, prioritizing field visits, and enforcing strict compliance measures.
This comprehensive approach aims to improve administrative efficiency and ensure better service to the public across Odisha.
