In it, he pointed out that, 'as has been the practice in the past, all government departments and organisations 
are required to prepare a status note on their departmental activities so that 
the incoming government is completely briefed about the status of various 
programmes and issues on which decisions have to be taken after the election'.

'In keeping with the practice you are requested kindly to prepare a brief write upon 
the thrust areas on your department and spell out the achievements vis-a-vis the 
envisaged outcomes, as also the challenges being faced in implementing the 
programmes,' the Cabinet Secretary wrote.
