In a unique recognition of exemplary service in the electoral process, the families of four dedicated booth-level officers (BLOs) in Pilibhit district were treated to complimentary safaris at the renowned Pilibhit Tiger Reserve (PTR) and free cinema tickets. This special reward was organized to mark National Voters' Day, celebrated annually on January 25, honoring those who demonstrated outstanding commitment to democracy.
Exceptional Performance Recognized with Wildlife Adventure
The initiative aimed to acknowledge BLOs who completed draft electoral rolls significantly ahead of the scheduled deadlines, showcasing efficiency and dedication in their crucial roles. District Magistrate Gyanendra Singh personally flagged off the safari vehicles on Sunday, emphasizing the importance of their contributions to the electoral framework.
Honored BLOs and Their Constituencies
The district administration highlighted the achievements of four standout BLOs, each representing different assembly constituencies. Chandra Mohan Gangwar from 127-Pilibhit City, Sachin Kumar Katheria from 128-Barkhera, Amanat Rasool from 129-Puranpur, and Neeraj Devi from 130-Bisalpur were specifically commended for their exceptional performance in streamlining voter registration processes.
Additional Felicitations for Voter Registration Milestones
Beyond the safari rewards, the ceremony extended recognition to other BLOs for various accomplishments in voter enrollment. Four officers were felicitated for registering the highest number of first-time voters, a critical step in engaging youth in the democratic process. Another group of four BLOs received awards for maximizing women voter registrations, promoting gender inclusivity in elections. Additionally, four more were honored for achieving the highest overall voter registrations on the electoral rolls, underscoring comprehensive community outreach.
Supervisors Also Acknowledged
In a move to appreciate teamwork and leadership, the supervisors overseeing these BLOs were also honored during the event. This holistic approach ensured that both frontline workers and their mentors received due recognition for their collective efforts in strengthening the electoral system.
This innovative reward system not only boosts morale among electoral officials but also highlights the district's commitment to encouraging proactive participation in democratic duties. By combining conservation awareness through tiger safaris with entertainment via cinema tickets, Pilibhit sets a precedent for creative incentives in public service.
