Haveri tops in delivery of Janasnehi centre services

Haveri: The last year ended on an encouraging note for the officials of the district administration of Haveri, which led the state in delivery of government services, with 99.1% of the pleas made to the Atalji Janasnehi centres being disposed of.
In all, the Janasnehi centres across Haveri district received 30,078 applications, with citizens seeking delivery of various government services, and 29,808 of them being disposed of.Haveri was trailed by Belagavi and Mandya districts in disposal of applications filed at the Janasnehi centres.
Director of Atalji Janasnehi Directorate Gangubai Manakar has, in acknowledgement of Haveri’s accomplishment, sent a congratulatory note to deputy commissioner Sanjay Shettenevar.
The Atalji Janasnehi Centres were set up across the state to offer services of the revenue department to the people in a manner that was transparent, reliable and affordable. In all, there are 769 such centres across Karnataka.
Sources in the revenue department said that delivery of services in Haveri had picked up pace following Basavaraj Bommai’a apointment to the chief minister’s chair, given that the North Karnataka district was the CM’s home district.
They attributed the impressive performance vis-à-vis disposal of applications to officials heeding valuable advice from peers and elected representatives alike.
On the other hand, apathetic officials are being disciplined, and directed to address people’s problems.
Unfortunately, another North Karnataka district, Ballari, is at the bottom when it comes to disposal of applications filed at the Atalji Janasnehi Centres.
Chikkamagaluru and Kalaburagi are the other districts languishing at the bottom of the list when it comes to disposal of applications for various services from the revenue department.
‘Officials working well’
Haveri deputy commissioner Sanjay Shettennevar said, “I have instructed the staff to expedite work on all applications filed at these centres, and all officials have been working very diligently to ensure that all pleas are attended to on time.”
