CBEC on Facebook and Twitter - Wants officers to send bytes
THE use of Social Media to engage with the stakeholders was discussed by the CBEC in the meeting held on 16th October, 2015.
The Board took note of the fact that a number of government ministries/organisations are making use of Social Media, inter alia, to disseminate information, generate awareness, education etc. The Board, accordingly, approved the use of Social Media for the said purpose.
The Board was informed that timely input/information are not received by the DGTS, which does not allow regular and timely updating of CBEC's account on Facebook and Twitter handle.
The Board has therefore, directed that all wings & field formations of CBEC should regularly send "inputs or bytes" to DGTS. This would fulfil the objective of a rich and rewarding user experience for visitors to our social media accounts.
