A two‑day meeting of district collectors in Andhra Pradesh began today, with officials reportedly uneasy about the chief minister’s planned review of an IVRS survey on public feedback.
The state administration launched a two‑day gathering of district collectors in Andhra Pradesh today, convening senior officials to discuss governance issues and upcoming programmes. The meet, scheduled to run for 48 hours, is being held under the direct oversight of the chief minister.
A key agenda item is the chief minister’s review of an Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) survey that has been collecting citizen feedback on various public services. Officials fear that the CM’s scrutiny could expose gaps in service delivery and trigger swift corrective actions.
Sources close to the meeting said the atmosphere among the collectors is tense, as many anticipate that the survey results may be used to assess performance metrics for their districts. The anxiety reflects broader concerns about accountability measures being intensified at the state level.
The collectors’ meet will continue through tomorrow, after which a summary report of the IVRS findings and the chief minister’s observations is expected to be circulated to all district offices.
