Lt Governor Kiran Bedi today asked bureaucrats here to identify the poorest and backward areas and take facilities to the people at their doorsteps."
"Officers should meet the poorer sections of people at their doorstep through field visits. We cannot expect the people to visit us as that would mean practical hardship," she said at a function here to mark Civil Services Day.
She further said in her experience as Lt Governor of the union territory over the last nearly two years she understood "Puducherry is far better than several places across the country."
Bedi, who herself has been undertaking field visits, said there was no deficiency in resources, rules and policies in the Union Territory.
"What is deficient is lack of last-minute connectivity which meant that the officers should spread out far and wide and make improvement in amenities for the common man," she said.
Chief Minister V Narayanasamy, who also felicitated the IAS officers, said a state-level university was under consideration of the government by clubbing arts and science colleges and other state government-run institutions.
