Lokpal Sethi/ Jaipur
Less than a fortnight, after assuming chief ministership, Ms Vasundhara Raje, has put the state administration in fast forward mode to deliver the goods within next 100 days.
After taking over as the first woman Chief Minister, she handed over the copies of the BJP's election manifesto to the Chief Secretary and secretaries of various departments and told them to prepare a short-term plan, ranging from 30 days to 100, as a first step to give a new thrust to the development program.
They were also asked to chalk out long-term plans for sustainable development. They were given a week's time to prepare short-term plans and also evolve an effective monitoring system.
Â
Taking the message, the, bureaucracy has worked overtime to prepare the schemes on the basis of 150 point vision document, which incorporated major features of party's election manifesto.
About a dozen key departments of the government have to share the major responsibilities to achieve the targets under a time bound program.
Working almost 18 hours a day, Ms. Raje, has started reviewing the action oriented programs of these departments.
The PWD has come out with road construction plans for rural areas. At least seven villages would be connected by road every day during the next 100 days
The energy department has chalked a program to give 35,000 new domestic and 5,000 agriculture connections during the next 100 days. The farmers would get a minimum of eight hours uninterrupted power supply and there would be no power cuts for the industrial sector.
During this period at least 450 villages would be electrified, under the rural electrification program.
She advised the officials in the department not to prepare reports of power supply, sitting in their offices. You should move out to the field and see the ground realities before reviewing the power supply, Ms. Raje told them in no uncertain terms
The Public Health Engineering Departments 100-point agenda include providing drinking water in 397 hamlets. A separate program has been chalked out to arrange the supply of drinking water for the government schools. Under this program more than 2000 government schools would be covered during this period.
The 100 days program of irrigation department reveals that at least 15,000 hectare of land would be brought under irrigation net work. The Chief Minister told the official to take every possible step to get the completed share of Rajasthan from other states. If required she herself would step in to build a pressure on the Centre and the concern states.
