Hyderabad, March,03,2026: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday directed district collectors to ensure the successful implementation of the Praja Palana – Pragati Pranalika programme across Telangana.
He issued detailed instructions during a meeting with collectors at the Dr BR Ambedkar Telangana State Secretariat ahead of the 99-day initiative scheduled from March 6 to June 12.
The Chief Minister said the three-month period would serve as a benchmark for the performance of district collectors and shape their service careers. He stated that collectors must act as a bridge between the government and the people.
He instructed collectors to spend at least 10 days every month in field visits to better understand public issues. He also directed the Chief Secretary to regularly review collectors’ performance and submit reports.
The government will assess performance through annual reports and conduct another review meeting in June, he said.
Collectors were asked to implement the 99-day action plan in coordination with sarpanches, municipal chairpersons, mayors, MLAs, MLCs and MPs. A one-day special training programme for newly elected public representatives will be held at district headquarters on March 12.
