Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 28: The State Information Department whose job is to disseminate information of public importance is actually forgetting its prime duty to please Ministers.
The department has issued series of advertisement recently where rather than the objective and results of programme or functions held, it highlighted who attended the meeting.
In a recent advertisement issued by Rural Development Department, Rajouri, about functioning of panchayats and their interaction with minister the advertisement states about who attended it prominently.
The department had highlighted the Rural Development Minister and even Health Minister and a junior minister.
The ministers are only head of the departments and at the best can make it work efficiently. Their pictures in the advertisement doesn't serve any purpose.
The advertisement doesn't state the important facts which could have been of public importance like: How much money was spent under MNREGA in the district, what steps were taken for social audit, what are the major areas where panchayats of the district have shown improvement or done credible work and how much money has been spent on development works routed through Panchayats.
These are the key areas where the information could have been of any public importance and it could have made other panchayats members of other districts to get a clue from it and work more efficiently.
But it appears this was not the concern of the Rural Development and also of the Information Department. The public knows whose is minister and who their MLA is. However, the departments, wasted lakhs of public money just to put their pictures in the newspapers.
The Rural Development like Information Department are important organs of government as both are directly connected to rural areas as in rural areas it's the functioning of the government which is of most important.
The department it appears have none of the concern for the general public but more about the head of the ministries to please them and in returned get pleased both of which are not pleasing actions for the common person who is not concerned about the pictures but the quality and efficiency of department and how much it has changed their lives in a positive manner. |
