Imphal, December 19 2024: Chief Minister N Biren Singh today opened Good Governance Week at the Cabinet Hall of CM Secretariat under the aegis of the Department of Administrative Reforms Division.

The Nationwide campaign "Prashasan Goan Ki Ore" under Good Governance Week will be held from December 19 to 24 .

Speaking at the occasion, the Chief Minister stated that the Good Governance Day is celebrated to commemorate the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister, late Atal Bihari Vajpayee on December 25 for his statesmanship and visionary leadership.

The Chief Minister recalled that the first idea that hit his mind on being sworn in as the Chief Minister of Manipur in March 2017 was to make Manipur an inclusive State with equal development in both the hills and the valley.

Soon after, the Government introduced the Go to Hills mission to bridge the developmental gaps across the State.

After knowing the ground reports of the far flung areas through the Go to Hills mission, the Go to Village mission was introduced to deliver governance at the door steps of the people, he said.

Biren further stated that good governance is governance for the people and to deliver services to the people with transparency and accountability.

People will have trust in the Government only when the services are delivered as promised, he added.

Stating that the situation in the State has been improving, the Chief Minister praised the Deputy Commissioners especially those posted in the hill districts for performing their duties sincerely during this difficult time.

He also mentioned that the bureaucrats are the backbone to deliver good governance to the people and appealed to the officers performing duties in the hill districts not to compromise on key issues and work in the larger interest of the Nation.

The Government should entertain the grievances of the public and work hard to redress the same to gain confidence and trust of the public, he sajd.

Speaking on the various welfare schemes initiated by the Government for the people, the Chief Minister also elaborated on details of schemes like the Chief Minister Gi Hakshelgi Tengbang, Chief Minister Health for All, Widows Pension Scheme, CM Da Haisi etc.

As a part of the programme, laptops were distributed to newly appointed civil service officers.

A presentation on Good Governance Week was made by Joint Secretary, Administrative Reforms Division A Shivadas Sharma.
