Use video conference facility to conect with BDOs/ SDOs live - make good use of phone facility of WBSWAN

We have dedicated video conferencing facility in all SDO and BDO offices, connecting district HQ. We have already started using the facility. I shall request all the officers at district HQ to use the facility more frequently to interact with Block/ Subdivision level officers to review the schemes/ programme. Monthly meetings with Block level extension officers/ field officers may be held through video conference to save time and travel expenses. ADMs may hold conferences with PAAOs/ PDOs, Inspector BCWs, BWOs, CDPOs, BLLROs, ADOs on KCC/ fertilizers, Mid day meal officers to name a few as example.

Besides, there is dedicated hotline facility connecting all officers at Collectorate with BDOs/ SDOs and also other collectorates through VoIP facility. It is just like intercom but safe, secure and reliable telephone line. PoP operators have contact number directory. My contact number is 25200. Please connect with each other on this facility which is not billed/ no expenditure incurred.

I have issued orders that BDOs/ SDOs may be called at district level meetings with the prior approval of DM Nadia only. More interaction on VC is advised.
