Innovative training method gets Poll personnels ready at Arambagh

To get the polling personnels familiar with the voting materials that can normally be seen at polling station only, Sri Arindam Niyogi, Sub-divisional Magistrate and Returning Officer of Arambagh brings a noble idea to exhibit all the polling materials at the training venues of Arambagh High School and Arambagh Girs' High School in connection  with the ensuing West Bengal Legislative Assembly Election -2011.They have scope to get them recognizable well ahead of the polling day. Besides, video clippings are continuously displayed to enable them how to seal Electronic Voting Machine and SMS registration. The polling officers are further elated when they have seen that Samir Kumar Das, Returning Officer of Kahankul Assembly Constituency, Jayanta Mondal, BDO, Goghat-1, Suprabhat Chatterjee, BDO, Khanakul-1 and Subhra Chatterjee, Jt. BDO, Arambagh are present there to explain the election procedure in details.

Another significant move is also taken to train the polling officers in small batches in separate class rooms instead of a large audience to facilitate them to interact with trainers more closely.

To guide is not the last. A check list arrives in a new avatar to assess their understanding about the subject in its core when they receive a questionnaire containing multiple type questions related to the basic knowledge that ought to be possessed by a polling person. They accept it heartily since they have already experienced that the sub-division administration has taken actions even to the minor issues after analyzing the feedback forms supplied to them to know their ideas and difficulties about election related issues. It is a unique method propagated by the Sub-divisional Magistrate himself to eradicate the dissatisfaction of the employees and their observation to ease the election process too.

Remembering Tagore once again!
