Officials told to show concern towards society and ensure social justice

Labour Minister and Dharwad district in-charge Santosh Lad has asked officials to show concern towards society and work for the cause of ensuring social justice and development instead of just restricting themselves to routine office work.

Chairing the third tri-monthly review meeting of Karnataka Development Programme (KDP) at the Zilla Panchayat auditorium in Dharwad on Tuesday, Mr. Lad said that only when officials showed social concern and worked accordingly, the pro-people programmes of the government will reach the people.

The Minister also emphasised the need for the officials to involve elected representatives in the planning of programmes in the fields of education, health, woman and child development, drinking water, agriculture, horticulture and urban development.
