Governor CV Ananda Bose resumed his duties at Raj Bhavan on Thursday after a brief hospitalisation in April and May, having been declared fit by doctors. He’s now refocusing on public outreach.
Notably, Governor Bose ensured administrative efficiency during his medical leave, by clearing pending files and also continued his public interaction programme — “Aamne Samne”, through which he directly engages with citizens. He also engaged in extensive discussions with senior officials, emphasising on strengthening the people-centric initiatives that Raj Bhavan has spearheaded over the past
two years.
Additionally, the Governor issued a series of immediate directives aimed at enhancing public engagement and administrative responsiveness.
The Governor reiterated his commitment to revamping and streamlining the Raj Bhavan machinery with a “people-centric approach” to ensure its accessibility and neutral stance for the public good.
His directives outline a robust plan for Raj Bhavan, prioritising intensified public engagement through village visits, to sensitise people against violence and promote social harmony, overnight stays, and district-level outreach.
In order to improve accessibility, the OSDs and senior officers will be stationed in districts, facilitating direct citizen interaction and enabling the Governor to address concerns and provide instructions.
In addition, the ‘File to Field’ progamme initiative will involve Raj Bhavan teams revisiting villages previously covered under “AAMAR GRAM”, to assess follow-up actions and track progress.

Additionally, it will host a Sanskrit Colloquium in partnership with Calcutta University.
According to Raj Bhavan sources, an interactive Jan Bhagidari Portal will be launched to boost public participation.
