News India Live, Digital Desk: In Bihar, Sunday brought a big gift for thousands of government workers working at the grassroots level. Making an important announcement, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has announced to give tablets to ‘Vikas Mitras’ and smartphone to ‘education servants’. The direct benefit of this decision will be given to thousands of workers of Scheduled Castes (SC), Tribes (ST), Other Backward Classes (OBC) and Muslim community.
Now work will be more ‘smart’ and easy
This decision is not just a gift, but is an attempt to improve the work of these workers. Let us know who they are and what will change with this decision:
- Vikas Mitra: These are the workers who work to bring the welfare schemes of the government to Mahadalit, Dalits and tribal communities, especially their tolls and settlements. Till now he used to do all his work on paper. After getting the tablet, now they will be able to keep an eye on government schemes, preparing the data of the beneficiaries and sending the report fast and easily.
- Education Servant: Their main task is to bring children to school in minorities, Dalits and Mahadalit settlements and stop dropouts (leaving studies). By getting a smartphone, they will be able to track the appearance of children, stay in touch with parents and do departmental work better.
Why is this decision so important?
This step of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is like two targets with one arrow.
- Digital Empowerment: This will directly connect the digital world workers, which will lead to transparency in government functioning. Monitoring the schemes will be easier than ever.
- Social Messages: This decision is directly for workers associated with communities who are considered socially and economically backward. With this, the government is trying to convey the message to these sections that they are included in their priorities.
At an event organized at the Chief Minister’s residence on Sunday, Nitish Kumar announced this, where he appreciated the work of these workers and said that this new technology will help in making his work more effective. This move of the government has waved a wave of happiness on the face of thousands of workers.
