During an interaction with administrative officers and staff of the DC office establishment, Yadav described them as the ‘backbone of the administration’ and called for punctuality, dedication, and diligence in service delivery.
Highlighting the importance of teamwork, she stressed that coordination and cooperation among all officers and officials are key to providing efficient and effective public services.
She also proposed capacity building measures, including technical training for upper division clerks (UDCs) and lower division clerks (LDCs), to enhance the skills of the ministerial staff.
Yadav warned against unauthorised absenteeism, stating that it would be viewed seriously. She advised all personnel to seek prior permission for leave of absence, while assuring that her office would remain open to constructive suggestions for administrative improvement.
