The four-day conference has brought together all Deputy Commissioners and senior district-level officials from across the country. Discussions will focus on the implementation of government development programmes, improving administrative efficiency at the district level, enhancing public service delivery, and addressing local challenges.

The public interaction and the Prime Minister’s walk were widely viewed as a positive and people-friendly gesture.
