e-governance

The Government was in the process of providing a big push to computerisation and introducing the concept of e-governance to serve the people, he said and appealed to the employees to work together and provide courteous service to those seeking help. The Government was concerned about the employees' welfare and it took several corrective measures to heal the "deep wounds" inflicted on the employees last year.

"If you have any problem or difficulty at the workplace, please do tell us and we are accessible", Mr. Tripathy said listing out several people friendly measures taken by the Government.

T.S. Sridhar, Special Secretary, Personnel and Administrative Officers, while outlining the welfare measures of the employees, enumerated the steps initiated by the Government in filling over 1.5 lakh vacant posts.

State Public Secretary S. Adiseshiah appealed to the employees to bring in more transparency in rendering public service.

Sugumal Sen, general secretary, AISGEF, inaugurated the three-day conference.

C. Kuppuswami, MP; T.K. Rengarajan, all India vice-president, CITU; S.S. Thyagarajan, general Secretary, AITUC; N. Parvadarajan, general secretary, Tamil Nadu Primary School Teachers Federation; K. Pandurangan, president, Secretariat Sangam; president of the Reception Committee and general secretary, CITU, A. Soundararajan; and K.
