UNB, Dhaka :
Issuing 24 directives to help the government to ensure good governance, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday asked the Deputy Commissioners to discharge their responsibilities rising above fear and allurement, and remain active for protecting the interests of people.
She also asked them to dedicate themselves to public welfare not only as public servants but as patriotic citizens of the country, and to encourage their colleagues about it.
The Prime Minister gave the directives while addressing the ‘Deputy Commissioners’ Conference 2014′ at the International Conference Centre of her office.
Hasina directed the deputy commissioners to work closely with public representatives for establishing good governance at the grassroots level.
She also asked them to ensure proper and timely implementation of central decisions at the field level and take leadership in flourishing and development of information technology (IT).
Hasina said, the continuity of a government is needed for the desired development of the country and for the first time an elected government is
performing its duty for the second consecutive time. Taking this advantage, she said, her government has been working ceaselessly to ensure the overall welfare of the country’s people through implementing various development programmes.
In this context, the Prime Minister thanked them for successfully holding the January-5 election despite various adversities.
Hasina said, it is not possible to achieve the desired development without a long-term development plan, and her government for the first time adopted a perspective plan for 2010-2021 in addition to implementing the sixth five-year plan.
She said, the government is going to adopt the seventh five-year plan and sought suggestions of the DCs on problems and potentials of their respective areas.
Hasina underscored the need for strengthening transparency and accountability to establish good governance at every sector from the state to society level through expanding and implementing e-governance.
In this context, she asked them to be careful so that common people are not harassed while receiving government services. The Prime Minister asked them to maintain peace, order and stability at every level of life through removing militancy and terrorism.
She said the deputy commissioners should work to prevent different social menaces like woman and child repression and trafficking, misuse of drug, eve-teasing, dowry, and child marriage.
Hasina said, spending for education is not mere expenditure but it is an investment and if her government could afford she would have made free the country’s entire education.
Elaborating her government’s steps for flourishing education, including providing free textbooks, stipends, financial help for poor parents and introduction of midday meals, Sheikh Hasina told the DCs to take steps to check dropout and bring the dropped out students to the mainstream.
