New Delhi: Cabinet Secretary KM Chandrashekhar has written to all the ministers regarding usage of names of prominent leaders in developmental programmes. Following is what the letter talks about.
Dear Minister
As you are aware that number of programmes under execution in the country are named after
leaders particularly Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, the former Prime Ministers.
The practice has become widespread and indiscriminate. This reduces the value of identifying programmes with national figures particularly as implementation and impact of many of these programmes is not always as ought to be. As such many of them do not merit such association.
I have, therefore, been directed to convey that in the light of what is stated above there is need to be sparing and selective in associating names of national leaders with such programmes to prevent proliferation of such nomenclature.
With regards,
KM Chandrasekhar
Cabinet Secretary
