Dr. MCR HRD Institute of Telangana organised a “One Day Reorientation and Capacity Building Program for District Officers of Siddipet and Janagaon in the Context of Telangana on May 25th, 2017 at Integrated Collectorate Complex at Siddipet.

Sri A K Goel, IAS (Retd.), Adviser to Government of Telangana for Planning & Energy, in his Inaugural Address, said that the Government’s innovative schemes like Mission Kakatiya, generous allocations for irrigation projects, focus on revival of rural economy, etc. have given a big boost to the multifaceted development of the State. Continuing his address, he said that the hallmark of all the programs of the Government is their wider coverage of all sections of the society, irrespective of caste, creed, and religion. ”In fact, the Hon’ble Chief Minister has gone on record by emphasising that growth has no meaning and even legitimacy, if the poorer sections of the society are left out”, said Sri Goel and paid rich tributes to the leadership of Siddipet in its success in providing drinking water tap connections to each household in Siddipet assembly constituency about 20 years back. He called for use of technology for water use efficiency and for urban planning.”The reorganisation of districts has been done with a view to taking the administration closer to people and to formulate suitable policies to address the problems unique a district”, he added.

Sri Venkataramareddy, IAS, Collector, Siddipet said that Telangana is in the process of transition from a shackled economy to that of an economy which is being nurtured back to fulfil the long pending needs of its people. He said that the Government is reorienting its policies and programs to put the economy of Telangana on a higher growth trajectory and called upon the officers to reinvent and reorient them in tune with this paradigm shift.

Smt. A Sri Devasena, IAS, Collector, Janagaon said that Janagaon district, despite having been a backward region of erstwhile Warangal district, has been making its presence felt, both at national and international levels, through its achievements in multiple domains. She said that in smaller districts people have better access to administration. “While physical, financial, and technical resources are important in their own right, Jangaon has registered successes in a number of areas mainly on account of the commitment of its employees for taking Janagaon to greater heights and to fulfil aspirations of people of Janagaon.

Dr. Gautam Pingle, Dean of Studies & Head, Centre for Telangana Studies said that an integrated development of villages, mandals, and districts will result in the development of the State as a whole.
