Saying that the present state government is striving to set up a transparent and clean administrative system from the outset, Sonowal urged the Circle officers to perform their duties with utmost sincerity and dedication so that the people can benefit from the government schemes. Committed service delivery would also enable them to earn respect from the people, he said.
Stating that the circle officers must ensure that corruption does not affect grass roots administration, the chief minister urged them to make the farmers, women, senior citizens, youth at the rural areas aware about various schemes taken by the government.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has initiated a lot of schemes for the underprivileged section of the society and corruption must be totally removed from the system so that the schemes reach the intended beneficiaries, he said.
