Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari held a video conference with district collectors and reviewed the progress of works taken up under Amma Adarsha Paatasaala, stitching of school uniforms and issues relating to procurement of paddy.
While complimenting the Collectors for grounding the works and bringing them to a good stage of progress under the Amma Adarsha Paatasaala programme, Chief Secretary underscored the need to complete them before the schools reopen on 12-06-2024.
She also asked the collectors to ensure that every child should be given notebooks, textbooks and one pair of school uniform on the day of the re opening of the school. She directed that minor repair works, electrification, toilets, drinking water, painting and furniture works should be monitored to ensure that quality work is done.
On Paddy Procurement, Chief Secretary asked the collectors to ensure that lifting of paddy is expedited and balance of paddy is procured at the earliest. Collectors should explore ways for fast movement of paddy from procurement centre to mills.
She appreciated the efforts of some district collectors for their quick response in handling the rain soaked paddy and drying them and asked other collectors to emulate the same so as to ensure that no farmer should be put to loss.
