Vijayawada: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has called for use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in all the government departments to improve efficiency in the state’s governance.
Naidu held a review meeting with senior officials on several issues here on Monday. Officials, he said, must develop a mechanism where the data being generated from drones, CCTV cameras and satellites are integrated, to be used for various purposes in governance.
He called for the conduct of surveys for getting fresh information on various issues in addition to the existing knowledge-base lying with the government. “Do not, however, conduct surveys repeatedly to collect the same information. This would cause trouble to the people and to the government staff,” he said.
When officials said the number of services being availed through WhatsApp has been increased to 953, the CM appreciated it and stressed that there must also be efforts to help the people to avail these easily.
Naidu called for the spread of more awareness among the people on usage of WhatsApp services under the Mana Mitra scheme and wanted that WhatsApp services should be utilised by the people to the extent of 100 per cent in future.
The CM gave a series of suggestions to senior officials on how to improve the performance of various departments in terms of their efficiency and to provide better services to the people. Officials, he said, must make field visits to improve the performance of their departments.
On disbursal of social security pensions, he called for special focus in Swarna Villages and Swarna Wards to avoid any shortfalls. He also asked officials to ensure efficient disbursal of pensions even in the remote areas.
Referring to the unauthorised collection of money by gas delivery boys while reaching domestic gas refills to homes under Deepam 2.0, Naidu said the officials must ensure no such practice exists.
On registration of properties, the CM said there was good feedback on providing the slot bookings, digital services and on the behaviour of the staff members in the registration department. Officials, he said, must ensure only honest officers are posted in all the 294 sub-registrar offices across the state, to avoid corruption.
