The Gorkhaland Territorial Administration (GTA) has decided to invite trainers from the personnel department of the Central government to train its employees to improve their office work culture.
An interactive session was today organised by senior GTA officials in the secretariat office at the Gorkha Ranga Manch Bhawan in Darjeeling. GTA sabhasads, employees and municipality staff members attended the nearly two-hour long session.
GTA sabhasad Binay Tamang said after the session "The GTA is an autonomous body and must function like a ministry. For this the priority is to improve the work culture in office. We held a meeting today and discussed the modalities on how this should be done."
To begin with, the GTA has decided to conduct workshops for its employees with the help of the central government.
"We have requested Darjeeling MP SS Ahluwalia to approach the Centre to dispatch trainers from Delhi specialised in this field to educate employees both of the GTA and the municipalities on how to maintain work culture in office," Tamang said.
The Darjeeling MP, who was present during the interactive session, said he would speak to the Central government at the earliest on the matter.
"It is a good initiative that reflects the enthusiasm and earnestness of the GTA. The Centre has a personnel department that provides training to government employees. Training is a continuous process and will definitely help GTA employees," he said.
