Conference of the Collectors and Police Officers.

Inaugural Address of Selvi J Jayalalitha, Honeble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu at the Conference of the Collectors and Police Officers on 17.12.2012.




Hon’ble Ministers,
Chief Secretary,
Director General of Police,
Principal Secretary, Home
Secretaries to Government,
Heads of Departments,
Senior Police Officers,
Commissioners of Police,
District Collectors, and
Superintendents of Police,

  I  am  happy  to  interact  with  all  of  you  at  this  Second  Conference  of District Collectors and Superintendents of Police today.  I would like to recall my observations made in the First Conference last year where I specifically emphasized that this Government would come out with concrete strategies for creating an environment to realize the aspirations of the people.  During this Conference, we will find out whether  we have moved in that direction and if necessary fine-tune our strategies for speedier implementation of various schemes thereby ensuring timely benefits to the targeted groups.

 2.  I would like to reiterate that this Government is fully committed to giving a clean, transparent, efficient and responsive administration.  The people of this State have reposed their faith in this Government by giving us a decisive mandate.  This Government is therefore duty bound to ensure that the poor and the downtrodden are given all possible assistance to lead a decent and dignified life.

 3.  It is well known that a just and fair society prospers the fastest. There is not only economic well being  in such a society but also genuine happiness.  I have outlined a vision for Tamil Nadu, which encompasses within itself material progress and distributive justice. I rely upon all of you present here today, to convert that vision into a reality. This can be achieved only through exemplary governance.

 4.   Exemplary and not just good governance is the goal that we have set for ourselves. I have led the State’s administration from the front. Eradication of poverty by providing the essential needs of food, clothing and shelter, implementation  of social security schemes in a comprehensive manner, development of infrastructure for economic development, improving health care and promoting the well being of the people, and providing a life of dignity to the people with access to education, employment opportunities and growth in an atmosphere characterised by peace stability and order have been my watchwords. Maintenance  of public order, political stability and a plan for progress that focuses on the greatest good for the greatest number are the prerequisites for such governance. I am proud to say that with regard to these prerequisites we have achieved a lot of progress in the last 19 months. But there are always many more improvements to be made. Exemplary governance will require not mere progress but perfection in every sphere.
