Assam Government Decides to Rename State Secretariat as Janata Bhavan
Assam government has decided to rename the secretariat as ‘Janata
Bhavan’. Moreover, a decision has also been taken to introduce the file
management system (FMS) wherein features like electronic file tracking
system will be implemented in the secretariat to infuse more
transparency and people-friendly governance.
Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal announced this at a meeting held in the secretariat on Thursday. Chairing the meeting of the General Administration Department and the Secretariat Administration Department, the Chief Minister said, “Under the FMS, a unique number will be generated for tracking each file in the secretariat, as the project will be implemented as part of the government’s bid to render transparency and convenience to the people.”
He further added that the plan also entails electronic tracking of file movement as steps are on the anvil to implement other components for extending governance digitally to the doorstep of every household. “The first component of the FMS will be introduced on April 1, 2017, while the second component, i.e. e-filing, will be introduced subsequently. With the introduction of FMS, public will get acknowledgement of their application either through SMS or email.”
The meeting also assessed the present status of Circuit Houses, as CM directed the general administration department to repair and refurbish the 51 Circuit Houses so as to reflect unique local and ethnic culture of a district or subdivision. He also directed the department to modernise all Circuit Houses to make them worthy for the food and lodging of the foreign tourists.
It may be noted that the government has already initiated steps of forming the Circuit House Management Committee for its repair and refurbish. The meeting also decided to build an integrated complex on a land measuring 100 bighas in Majuli, involving Rs 278.21 crore. The complex will incorporate a modern circuit House, centralised district administration office with all departmental offices, official residences with sports and
