District Magistrate - Collector leadership
The District Magistrate, Deputy Commissioner and Collector role today is not with a seasoned and experienced officer. To me the person in this role should be an officer between 40-50 and for large districts a joint secy level officer, director level for smaller districts. This is not the case.
This officer should engage public with platforms like local circles for both policy and action and have his entire district team on a whatsapp.
Every dm should have a performance evaluation where citizens also have a say along with other common metrics.
I feel this is key to bring change on ground.
