Education Minister Rohit Thakur backs Vikramaditya Singh's three-year tenure, urges CM to resolve officers' issue

Education Minister Rohit Thakur praises PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh's 3-year tenure and urges Chief Minister Sukhu to address officer-related concerns.

"Vikramaditya Singh is our young minister and his tenure has been efficient. - Rohit Thakur"

Shimla, January 16

Himachal Pradesh Education Minister Rohit Thakur, on Friday, voiced strong support for Public Works Department Minister Vikramaditya Singh, praising his performance over the past three years and urging Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu to resolve the issue related to officers that was recently raised by the PWD minister.

Speaking to the media and later to ANI in Shimla, Thakur said Vikramaditya Singh has proved to be an efficient and successful minister during his three-year tenure. He added that the concerns expressed by the PWD minister regarding officials should be addressed through dialogue at the level of the Chief Minister.

"I have already spoken on this issue. In the development of Himachal Pradesh, officers from outside the state, including All India cadre officers, have also made valuable contributions, just as state officers have. As far as negative thinking is concerned, such officers and people can be found both within the state and outside. This cannot be generalised," Thakur said.

Backing Vikramaditya Singh's remarks, the Education Minister added, "It is true that at every place there are some officers who create difficulties, whether they belong to state services or All India services. Vikramaditya Singh is our young minister and his tenure has been efficient. Whatever doubts or concerns have arisen from his statement should be clarified by the Chief Minister, who is the head of our government, so that the matter does not escalate."

Earlier in the day, Thakur flagged off a special educational tour for 96 children with special needs from Shimla. The five-day exposure tour, organised by the Samagra Shiksha Department, will take the students to Amritsar.

"Today, through the Samagra Shiksha Department of our Education Department, around 96 children are going to Amritsar. These children have come here from all districts of the state, and all are children with special needs. Such programmes are organised to give them exposure. Similar programmes have been organised in the past as well. With this thinking, we want to ensure that our special children do not lag behind in any subject," Thakur said while speaking with ANI.

He further added that special educators will accompany the children throughout the five-day tour to ensure their safety and learning.

While the political support is noted, I'm more impressed by the initiative for children with special needs. That educational tour to Amritsar is a wonderful step towards inclusion. More such programs are needed across all states.

Thakur is right that you can't generalize about officers. There are good and bad apples in every service, state or central. But constant friction between ministers and bureaucrats slows down development work. Hope the CM sorts this out quickly.

Respectfully, this feels like managing headlines. First, there's a controversy about officers, then a diversion with a positive story about a children's tour. The real issue is administrative efficiency. We need solutions, not just damage control.

As someone from Himachal, I've seen the improvement in PWD works in the last few years. Vikramaditya Singh is accessible and gets things done. If he has an issue with some officers, it must be genuine. The CM should listen.

The tour for special needs children is heartwarming! ❤️ This is what a government's focus should be. Beyond political backing and officer disputes, these tangible welfare measures make a real difference in people's lives. Kudos to the Samagra Shiksha Department.
