Narendra Modi to reach out to govt employees’ on Independence Day
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked for an exhaustive Central
database of all Central and state government employees. The creation of
the database, which will have the phone numbers and email addresses of
all employees, is already underway, and will be first used on
Independence Day when Modi’s speech is directly sent to the employees by
mail and messages.
The prime minister would like his maiden speech from the Red Fort to be
directly communicated to one crore government employees, such as school
teachers, village sarpanches, healthcare workers etc, in the farthest
corners of the country. Most of these are not tech-savvy, Internet users
and so frenetic efforts are under way to implement Modi’s intent, said
government sources.
The government has therefore initiated the process of creating the
first-ever countrywide database of central and state government
employees and stakeholders. Cabinet secretary Ajit Seth is monitoring
the creation of this database after clear instructions by PM Modi. Seth
has been meeting officials from all ministries two times every week to
monitor the progress.
The National Informatics Centre has created a new portal sampark.nic.in
for the purpose. All states, through their districts and block level
offices, have been directed to update their data on this website. “The
ministries are also coordinating with their state counterparts to
compile this data in a time bound manner,” said an official.
The National Informatics Centre has so far collected information of 50
lakh teachers, 30 lakh sarpanches, 10 lakh health care workers and two
lakh corporators. The prime minister is likely to use the data to
connect with all these employees and stakeholders through social media
platforms, much as he had done to connect with voters during the 2014
general election campaign, said an insider.
“He intends to do the same now with government employees. It is an exercise to build a bond,” the official said.
