Key Points from the Review
Call for Honest Feedback
Revanth Reddy stressed that officers must uphold the trust reposed by the people through transparent and effective governance. He urged them to share candid feedback to help chart a clear roadmap for the remainder of the government’s tenure.

Infrastructure and Workforce Data
The Chief Minister directed secretaries to maintain updated data on outsourcing and contract employees across departments.
