Secretariat is the Soul of Governance: CM Dhami
Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said, “The Uttarakhand Secretariat is not merely a building but the soul of the state’s governance system and a key center of public trust. It is from here that policies are formulated, welfare schemes are guided, and the roadmap for the state’s development is prepared.”
He stated that every officer and employee working in the Secretariat is an important stakeholder in building a developed Uttarakhand. “The Secretariat family plays a vital role in implementing government policies and schemes on the ground and ensuring that their benefits reach the last person in society.”
The Chief Minister further said that Secretariat officers and employees act as a strong bridge of trust between the government and the people. Their efficiency, dedication, and commitment help ensure that government schemes reach ordinary citizens effectively. He noted that since its inception, the state government has been striving to make governance more sensitive, transparent, and people-centric. In this direction, continuous dialogue has been maintained with various employee organisations, and efforts have been made to address their concerns and suggestions seriously, as per the statement.
Commitment to Good Governance and Transparency
The Chief Minister emphasised that a strong, motivated, and satisfied workforce is the greatest strength of good governance. When the government and employees work together with a spirit of teamwork, development activities gain momentum, and public confidence in the administration becomes even stronger.
He said that the state government is continuously working to strengthen good governance, transparency, and accountability. Several measures have been taken to simplify administrative processes, promote technology-driven services, and enhance e-governance. “The government’s objective,” he said, “is to ensure that citizens receive timely, transparent, and quality services. The Secretariat family has a crucial role to play in achieving this goal.”
Vision of a Leading State
Expressing confidence in the future, the Chief Minister said that the Uttarakhand Secretariat would set new benchmarks in good governance and efficiency through a better work culture, stronger coordination, and a positive working environment. He also expressed hope that the newly elected executive committee would discharge its responsibilities with a spirit of service, sensitivity, and dedication, and play a significant role in realising the government’s vision of making Devbhoomi Uttarakhand a leading state in the country under its resolve of “Vikalp Rahit Sankalp” (Unwavering Commitment).
