Secretary's Message

Communication and Works Department has been in the vanguard to translate practically on the ground the wishes, desires and dreams of the people. It is the working limb of the government, which implements the development agenda of the popular executive for the benefit of the people at gross root level. The public sector projects transpire the economic might of a polity and indicate its commitment towards the ultimate destiny of a nation. C&W Department is a revenue spending organ of the government and its duties warrant good credibility, and institutional reliance for judicious utilization of the public money with utmost diligence. It is an uphill task for a spending department to earn public appreciation and C&W Department has been experiencing this dilemma, as well. It is very laudable that the department has embarked upon the much needed task of muscle building to enhance its capacity, vitality and capability to handle its functions, efficiently. The planners, designers and Engineers need to grasp latest technology and innovation to make their service delivery compatible with the surroundings. Quality, progress and wise utilization of tax payers money are the prime objectives of the department, which are not to be compromised at any level. Material testing profile is to be maintained for each and every project to ensure quality control for a sustainable development. The persons who are destitute to deliver properly, need to be pushed out from vital positions. The C&W department should meet the challenge not to fall short of the public expectations. I am confident that the task is difficult but not un-achievable!
