A total of 498 proposals submitted by divisional commissioners and deputy commissioners will be discussed at the policy level during the four-day Deputy Commissioner (DC) Conference beginning on May 3.

The conference, aimed at sharing field-level administrative experiences and recommendations on key issues such as public service delivery, land management, law and order, drug control, infrastructure development and social safety, is the first major administrative event of the year.

According to the Cabinet Division, the conference will run from May 3 to May 6, covering discussions on 56 ministries, divisions, offices and organisations across 34 working sessions. Advisors, senior secretaries and secretaries of the ministries concerned will participate, while the Cabinet Secretary will preside over the sessions.

Joint Secretary (District and Field Administration Branch) of the Cabinet Division Mohammad Khorshed Alam told UNB that a total of 1,729 proposals were received from eight divisional commissioners and deputy commissioners of 64 districts.

After scrutiny, 498 proposals were finalised for discussion, while the rest were excluded due to duplication, disagreement or prior discussion in earlier meetings.

The inaugural session will be held at 10:30am on May 3 at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the capital.

It will be inaugurated in the presence of the Prime Minister, followed by an open discussion between the deputy commissioners and the Prime Minister. The concluding session will also take place at the same venue.

In addition, courtesy meetings have been arranged between district administrators and the President, Chief Justice, Speaker, and chiefs of the three-armed forces, which was not included in last year’s conference.

The DC conference is held annually to facilitate direct dialogue between policymakers and field administration officials. Last year, the event was held for three days in February during the interim government.
