As I felt this morning. Have a good day.

 As I felt this morning. Have a good day.

In Puducherry we are trying to change the way we have been working.
We are only making a small headway.
Not at the speed at which people need.
People are still complaining of garbage near by, a mosquito breeding pond, unclean and smelly water, public nuisance In the neighbourhood, delays in responding to their legitimate grievances, outdated skills, incorrect and unpaid bills, lack of data entry, lack of digitisation of records, absence of policies, and more.
Only recently we have removed all banners and now strictly enforcing it which is why all are complaining.
When all complain it means hopefully we are equal to all in law enforcement.
This is what it should be. When ALL complain it means we are being equally tough and not selective. We are not here to play favourites.
As Public officials our service gives us security in functioning. We must make that as our strength and perform without fear or favour.
If all department heads set themselves to improve their respective departmental performance even bit by bit every day Puducherry will be cleaner, neater, safer, more systematic, more organised, more law abiding in all respects including payments of their bills, and usage of Govt  services, respect its natural resources as responsible citizens.
We are here not for populism but performance. We are assessed in as performance appraisal not populism appraisal. Enforce the law for all for the good of all.
Wish to thank the officers in Municipalities the PWD, and the Ground Water Authority, Science and Technology, our Police Beat and Traffic regulation, Revenue Services for checking sand theft, power and property depts for getting after the defaulters by naming and shaming...
All for rising to the occasions in driving the small change. But it’s still not impacting enough to be called transformative.
The rural component needs to pick up. The land grabbing by vested interests must stop. Digital areas need attention. Speed of disposal needs a sense of urgency.
Policies need implementation...and more.
Best wishes.
