The 150th birth anniversary of Gandhi on October 2 will usher in a new system of public administration in Andhra Pradesh with the launch of the village and ward secretariats. Jagan Reddy, whose government recruited 1.26 lakh people for the posts in the village and ward secretariats, on Monday, handed over appointment letters to some of the selected candidates in Vijayawada. Fulfilling another major public promise, Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is all set to launch the new system aimed at providing services to people in rural and urban areas in a corruption-free and hassle-free manner. A total of 11,158 village secretariats will come into existence across the state on October 2. Similarly 3,809 ward secretariats will start functioning in 110 municipalities. The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) government says the system will deliver transparent, accountable and corruption-free services to people and become a role model for the entire country. Jagan Mohan Reddy said people in villages were looking for corruption-free delivery of services. He asked the selected candidates to bear in mind that they are doing this job to serve the people.
