Modi likes to communicate his Independence Day speech directly to Central Govt Employees by mail and messages…
Narendra Modi to reach out to govt employees’ on Independence Day
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked for an exhaustive Central database of all Central and state government employees. The creation of the database, which will have the phone numbers and email addresses of all employees, is already underway, and will be first used on Independence Day when Modi’s speech is directly sent to the employees by mail and messages.
The prime minister would like his maiden speech from the Red Fort to be directly communicated to one crore government employees, such as school teachers, village sarpanches, healthcare workers etc, in the farthest corners of the country. Most of these are not tech-savvy, Internet users and so frenetic efforts are under way to implement Modi’s intent, said government sources.
The government has therefore initiated the process of creating the first-ever countrywide database of central and state government employees and stakeholders. Cabinet secretary Ajit Seth is monitoring the creation of this database after clear instructions by PM Modi. Seth has been meeting officials from all ministries two times every week to monitor the progress.
The National Informatics Centre has created a new portal sampark.nic.in for the purpose. All states, through their districts and block level offices, have been directed to update their data on this website. “The ministries are also coordinating with their state counterparts to compile this data in a time bound manner,” said an official.
The National Informatics Centre has so far collected information of 50 lakh teachers, 30 lakh sarpanches, 10 lakh health care workers and two lakh corporators. The prime minister is likely to use the data to connect with all these employees and stakeholders through social media platforms, much as he had done to connect with voters during the 2014 general election campaign, said an insider.
“He intends to do the same now with government employees. It is an exercise to build a bond,” the official said.

Comprehensive GST regime a reality by year end – Revenue Secretary
The Centre is working towards making a comprehensive GST regime a reality by the end of the year, Revenue Secretary Shri Shaktikanita Das said in New Delhi on Monday. Efforts are underway to resolve the contentious issues of entry tax on petroleum and tobacco and arrive at a consensus on compensation to States, Mr. Das said.
The clarification assumes significance as a major criticism of the Union budget that the Modi government presented in Parliament last week was its silence on a possible time line for the introduction of GST.
