Continuing his address, he said that the hallmark of all the programs of the Government is their wider coverage of all sections of the society, irrespective of caste, creed, and religion. ”In fact, the Chief Minister has gone on record by emphasising that growth has no meaning and even legitimacy, if the poorer sections of the society are left out”, said Sri Goel and paid rich tributes to the leadership of Siddipet in its success in providing drinking water tap connections to each household in Siddipet assembly constituency about 20 years back. He called for use of technology for water use efficiency and for urban planning.”The reorganisation of districts has been done with a view to taking the administration closer to people and to formulate suitable policies to address the problems unique a district”, he added.
