He described it as a platform for inclusive and thoughtful reflection. According to a government release, the Chief Minister stressed that public welfare and service remain the core principles of the government, with everyone--from the smallest employee to the highest-ranking minister--working tirelessly to achieve these objectives. He pointed out that the three-day Chintan Shibir would serve as a space for collective brainstorming to enhance and successfully implement various initiatives. CM Patel urged ministers and officials to use the three-day Chintan Shibir as an opportunity to ensure a robust system of good governance, aiming to prevent challenges and dilemmas for the public. He encouraged officers to take ownership of their departmental responsibilities, commit to public service, and sustain the systems established during the Shibir. He emphasised the need to respond to public grievances with humility and discretion, even if immediate solutions are not feasible. (ANI)
