The two-day District Commissioners’ Conference in Jorhat, chaired by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, concluded on Monday midnight with over 27 hours of rigorous deliberations with Ministers, DCs and senior officers, covering 15 departments.
Taking to social media, the Chief Minister gave a clear message to the DCs by asking them to shed the vestiges of a colonial administrative mindset and bring the discipline, efficiency and professionalism of the private sector to public service.
“Technology and AI must become integral to everyday governance. Each DC will now convene meetings with line departments to ensure every directive reaches field officers without delay and translates into action,” the Chief Minister said.
“Assam’s districts must compete to excel. I expect every DC to work towards making their district the finest in the country,” Sarma stated.
Alongside these discussions, the Chief Minister also cleared over 85 files and wrote over 34 Notes and letters to dignitaries
“The day-to-day work of governance must keep pace with the reforms we pursue. These deliberations will deliver tangible changes on the ground. That is the commitment we leave Jorhat with. The weight of the mandate is now with the administration and they must rise to the occasion,” he said.
