Yogi Adityanath demands accountability in public welfare programs

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath emphasized the importance of public welfare work during a review meeting on Wednesday. He stated that negligence in these projects is unacceptable and that officials must ensure accuracy in reported data. The Chief Minister introduced a ranking system to monitor the progress of major schemes in the state. He urged a focus on quality over mere numbers, stressing that both speed and quality are essential in public welfare initiatives. Adityanath called on the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) department to promote the One District One Product (ODOP) initiative. He suggested exploring the inclusion of specific food products from each district in the program. He also encouraged sharing success stories and effective strategies from top-performing departments to inspire improvements in others. He noted that government schemes must achieve 100% completion to be considered successful. The Chief Minister advised against setting superficial targets and instead urged for realistic goals based on actual capabilities. Adityanath directed various departments, including revenue and health, to ensure accountability in handling complaints. He requested regular updates on important projects, like the Kanpur Metro, to keep everyone informed. Finally, he stressed the importance of thorough checks on e-procurement requests before submission and addressing pending cases on the Nivesh Mitra portal quickly.
