Mission - improvement of quality citizen servces, motor vehicles

BURDWAN IS ONE OF THE FEW DISTRICTS WHERE HARDWARE USED IN MOTOR VEHICLE SECTIONS AT ASANSOL, BURDWAN AND DURGAPUR IS OWNED BY PRIVATE PARTNERS. The agreement signed with the private partner three years ago needs to be reviewed in view of lots of complaints from the public about poor quality and delayed service delivery at all the places. In the recent visit to the MV sections by district authorities, the pendency of large number of driving licences (DL), Registration Certificates (RC) of new vehicles and Fitness certificate delays of several thousands of applications were reported. The agency chose not to upgrade the hardware as per the technological improvements and continuing with the old hardware in most of the cases.

To overcome the problems with the view to deliver quality services, we have procured new hardware from Transport department and shortly replacing the agency from Burdwan MV office. Other offices will also be taken up in phases. Our motto is to deliver driving licences in one week utmost and RCs in three days. Let's endeavour to achieve the target. Public services i.e. citizen centric services must be given topmost priorities by all team Burdwan.

Thanks Block NREGA teams for updating MIS

MIC P&RD held video conference today. Our MIS was merely 12 % three weeks ago. Today it is 85 % with 35 % data uploaded reflected in the website. I express my sincere thanks to all those who could make it possible in record time. Congratulations and my salute to all of them.

However, some of the blocks are yet to reach the target. These are Raina I, Ausgram II, Ketugram I, Pandaveshwar, Memari II etc. Please do update it within this week.

We have assured the Govt that MIS will be 100 % by 15th July 2010. I am hopeful that team Burdwan will be make it to achieve the target. All the best.

We need to ensure that henceforth all muster rolls are uploaded within a week. Our performance is best in the State today, with expenditure of Rs 102 Crores out of 137 Crores we received this year. Paschimanchal Blocks must improve as their employment generation is very poor. Utilise Forest Week starting from 14th July to ensure that all the Institutions are covered by social forestry.
