Minister, Rural Development (RD) Metsubo Jamir Friday asked officers of the RD department to be sincere and prompt in discharging their duties towards the rural people.
In a press release, the department informed that the minister said this after inaugurating the ongoing two-day workshop on “RD programmes for RD officials” at RD directorate, Kohima.
In his address, Metsubo reminded the officers of the certain liabilities and responsibilities they have towards the State government and the people of Nagaland.
To this end, he called upon all districts and blocks to ensure that officers and staffs diligently attend seminars and trainings organised by the department.
Metsubo also advised the officers to continue learning and upgrading their knowledge so that they remain updated with the new schemes and guidelines issued by the ministry.
In a speech, commissioner and secretary, RD, Neposo Theluo mentioned that Financial Year 2021-22 had been a very challenging and difficult year. However, he expressed satisfaction that despite all problems some district had performed well.
Theluo also expressed the need to conduct more training and workshops to update the officials and to be able to perform better as many of the officers and field stags are working without proper experience or knowledge of schemes being implemented. Reiterating the importance of using the right nomenclature of schemes, Theluo also requested the officers to go through the permissible list of schemes under MGNREGA so as to familiarize themselves with the right nomenclature of schemes.
Earlier, director, RD, Liboni Humtsoe delivered the welcome address.
