Communication and Works Department doesn't only deal with the bricks and mortar, nuts and bolts. It has another very crucial dimension associated to it. It is that the roads it builds are travelled by millions of living souls daily. Similarly the buildings it constructs are inhabited by millions of people. Looking things in that perspective, the works carried out by the Communication and Works department has a direct bearing on the safety of millions of precious lives. It is therefore paramount for it that a blend of quality, skill and utmost dedication is applied while carrying out its functions. Furthermore, the major chunk of the development fund is consumed by the Communication and Works department. Hence it is also important that transparency is ensured by its ranks and files. I am confident that Communication and Works Department is capable to deliver its best what is expected from it.

It is an uphill task for a spending department to earn public appreciation and Communication and Works Department has been experiencing this dilemma, as well. It is very laudable that the department has embarked upon the much needed task of muscle building to enhance its capacity, vitality and capability to handle its functions, efficiently. The planners, designers and Engineers need to grasp latest technology and innovation to make their service delivery compatible with the surroundings. Quality, progress and wise utilization of tax payers' money are the prime objectives of the department, which are not to be compromised at any level. Material testing profile is to be maintained for each and every project to ensure quality control for a sustainable development. The persons who are destitute to deliver properly, need to be pushed out from vital positions. The Communication and Works department will do its best to meet the challenge not to fall short of the public expectations.
