Reference

The Reference Section collects everyday important news articles from all newspapers, periodicals and categorizes them daily and brings them to the notice of the concerned Government Departments as well.

The important news from morning and evening dailies, periodicals and other State newspapers are all consolidated by the Reference Section as news clippings and are submitted every day to the Hon'ble Chief Minister and the Chief Secretary in file format. Necessary actions are being taken through the concerned departments. Also, according to the policy of going paperless, news clippings are being sent as e-newspapers now, on a trial-run basis.

In addition, complaints and adverse news published on various Government departments are scanned and sent to their respective Secretaries, Heads of Departments and the District Collectors through WhatsApp immediately. The reply is also received from them and necessary actions are taken for their release to the media. Furthermore, important newspapers are preserved as bound volumes for future reference. Important Press clippings published in the newspapers are given immediately even during the Legislative Assembly sessions and a copy is sent to the offices of the Hon'ble Chief Minister, Hon'ble Ministers and Secretaries to Government, as per their request.

Important Press clippings such as announcements of the Hon'ble Chief Minister, speeches, press meets, Government's schemes, achievements and welfare assistances and also the editorials of dailies, articles and critiques and the views of different political leaders published in newspapers are compiled under different headings, computerized and preserved by the Reference Section.
