NEW DELHI: Central ministers working from home due to lockdown have a packed schedule these days. They have been tasked to hold daily interactions with senior officials of districts, which are assigned to them and need to send daily reports.Sources said first, they need to hold web-based meetings with collectors, SPs and other senior officers by 1.30 or 2 pm and then they need to send the report to the minister heading their group.The group in-charge then needs to share the details of all ministers by evening with prime minister’s office (PMO) or Prime Minister. PM Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold a video conference with all ministers on Monday afternoon to review the situation, sources said.TOI has learnt that one of the intentions behind such exercise is to send a message that the Centre is always communicating to the top district officials, who are responsible for delivery on ground and local level.The ministers have also been asked to interact with IAS officials , who have been trained as assistant secretaries for three months during their probation period. They were attached to different ministries and departments to get a taste off how Central government works.These officers have also interacted with PM in the past and Modi has urged officials from each batch to carry out the best service.Most of these officers are now posted either as dub-divisional magistrates, or additional collectors or additional additional deputy commissioners in districts. “This exercise will also help build the manpower to be ready to deal with any major issue in future,” said a source.
