Satheesan on Monday directed government departments to streamline file processing, expedite the implementation of flagship programmes, and use artificial intelligence to improve the Janasparsham file adalat for public grievances. He also asked officials to assess the progress of existing Central schemes and ensure the state derives maximum benefits from them, the Chief Minister's office said. The Chief Minister gave the directives at a meeting of department secretaries in Thiruvananthapuram. It has been decided to convene a meeting of department secretaries every month to improve file management and reduce their workload. The Hindu and The Times of India both reported the decisions. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both The Hindu and The Times of India offer uniform, wire-style reporting of Chief Minister Satheesan's administrative directives, with no discernible slant.
