Governors’ conference today: Govt wants Raj Bhavans pro-active, share views when states-Centre differ

At a time when several Governors are locked in conflict with their respective state governments, the Centre has urged them to be more pro-active on social media, connect with the public, and promptly share their views especially when there are differences of opinion between the Centre and the states on policy, The Indian Express has learnt. This is one of a set of suggestions that reportedly finds mention in an official agenda note in the run-up to the two-day Conference of Governors beginning August 2. President Droupadi Murmu will preside over the conference at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Another suggestion, it is learnt, flags the role of Governors in improving coordination between various Central agencies and organisations in the state so that they don’t work in silos. Raj Bhavan can help ensure cooperation between these organisations that could make a difference in key aspects of governance including generation of jobs, education, skilling, services and growth, according to the suggestion.
