Advice to teachers

Mr. Shivakumar walked into the classrooms and interacted with students. He also made a couple of students read excerpts from their textbooks and also asked them to solve a few math problems. He felt that the teachers needed to give extra attention to teaching mathematics.

Later, addressing the gathering, the Deputy Commissioner said the primary duty of the Revenue Department was to ensure social security to all individuals. “We have the responsibility of providing people social security and ensure government’s schemes reach the needy through various agencies and departments”, he said.

Lok Sabha member B.Y. Raghavendra, who also took part in the programme, said officers should listen to people’s problems and resolve them within the stipulated time. “If all officers at the field level work with dedication, Deputy Commissioners need not visit the rural areas”, he opined.
