Venkaiah Naidu chalks out 10-point charter for effective governance

Seeking innovative ideas and new initiatives from bureaucrats, union minister Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday chalked out a ten-point charter for them for enabling effective governance.

Naidu urged the senior officials of Urban Development and Housing and the Urban Poverty Alleviation Ministry, to reorient their attitudes and approaches and enable the government to fulfill the mandate of rapid and inclusive economic growth given to them by people in the last general elections.

Naidu addressed over 130 Under Secretaries, Deputy Secretaries, Directors, Joint Secretaries and Secretaries, according to a senior Urban Development Ministry official.

During his 50-minute pep talk, Naidu also stressed upon need for speedy decision making and
creating an enabling environment to facilitate the much desired flow of private investments into
urban development and housing initiatives.

Naidu touched upon a range of issues including the mandate of the government, inhibitive nature of bureaucracy, discipline and punctuality among others during his address.

Minister of state for UD and HUPA Babul Supriyo Baral and secretaries of both the ministries also attended the meeting convened to motivate the senior officials to meet the challenges of growing urbanisation.

Naidu urged the officials to ‘move away from the attitude of playing safe and risk aversion resulting in delayed decision making to one of being pro-active and innovative with the objective of improving the ease of doing business’.
