MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR GENERAL

Dear colleagues,

In the month of August, we celebrated our 69th Independence Day on August 15,2015 with great joy and fervour. I am sure that on this auspicious occasion, wealso remembered the sacrifices of our valiant freedom fighters and the greatachievements, which our Nation made after Independence.

I have been told that construction works in all the regions of CPWD areprogressing smoothly and satisfactorily. I would like each and everyone to keepthe momentum up and complete the works with quality and within stipulatedtime. In this regard, for sake of infusing inspiration, I would like to quote a letterdated 05.08.2015 from the CE, (CZ), Bhopal, wherein he suomoto has intimatedthe achievements of his Zone in terms of new clients and projects added, worksstarted within 6 months of issue of A/A &E/S and works completed on or beforestipulated date of completion. He deserves applaud and appreciation. I have toldhis letter to be published in this news letter. I would like all CEs to come forwardand respond in a similar manner to show their achievements.

It is a matter of satisfaction that for the forthcoming prestigious FIFA U-17 WorldCup scheduled in September/October, 2017, Sports Authority of India have againreposed their faith on CPWD and entrusted the renovation & up gradation worksof three venues at New Delhi, Kolkata and Guwahati to us. We have anopportunity to demonstrate our professional excellence to deliver the works withquality and speed and earn the good name. Ministry of Drinking Water andSanitation and bureau of Migration have also requested us to take up theirworks. Thus CPWD continues to be the preferred destination for manyDepartments to cater to their construction requirements.

Friends, ever since I took over the reins of CPWD, it has been my constantendeavour to tirelessly work towards settling all pending personnel matters of allthe cadres of Department. It has been my conviction that a satisfied andmotivated work force alone can be productive, efficient and useful for theorganisation. I am pleased to inform that we have made considerable progress inthis regard. NFU and MACPS have been granted to most of the eligible officers.Promotion cases are now being pursued in a time bound manner. Most of AdhocAEs have been regularised. Newly created posts of PS in the Stenographic cadreshave been filled up. Concerted efforts are being made to conduct LDCE from JEto AE without any further delay. Annual rotational transfer & posting orders ofCE/SE/EE have already been issued.

I would conclude with the words that may Providence generate fire and intenselonging in all of us to do more than the best for the Department. The Departmentis desperately howling for our fullest contribution to run fast and to regain itspristine glory.

Thank you,(Divakar Garg)
