on Saturday underscored the importance of good governance and the role of
senior officers in decision making.
- Emphasising the importance of Nagaland Rules of Executive
Business, the chief secretary urged the officers to thoroughly go through it as
it serves as the foundational document for governance, a DIPR report stated.
- Alam was addressing the capacity building training for AHoDs
and senior officers, organised by the Department of Personnel & Administrative
Reforms (Administrative Reforms Branch), at the conference hall, Nagaland Civil
Secretariat, Kohima.
- He pointed that many officers just pick and read parts of
the Nagaland Rules of Executive Business, causing them to miss crucial points.
- On the service conduct rules, discipline and appeal rules,
Alam said that in Nagaland, “we do not actually use service conduct and
discipline rules very frequently, so our familiarity with this is quite
limited, although P&AR department is there to guide us in these matters.”
- He urged senior officers to have the basic understanding of
the matter and also guide the departments when need arises.
- Stressing the importance of IT tools in governance, the
chief secretary maintained that using various tools like Google calendar and
ChatGPT app etc., can enhance personal productivity as officers.
