A citizen friendly and accountable administration
is the focus of the Government. A series of steps to achieve this goal have
been initiated. These include simplification of procedures, identification and
deletion of archaic laws/rules, identification and shortening of various forms,
leveraging technology to bring in transparency in public interface and a robust
public grievance redress system. Promotion of Self-Certification in place of
affidavits and attestation by Gazetted Officers is one important step in this
regard. This greatly reduces the time and effort on the part of both the
citizen as well as the Government officials.
Leveraging the power of information technology brings
with it the advantage of transparency and speed. One of the focus areas of
Government is to reduce the decision making layers to the minimum while
allowing for faster means of information sharing/dissemination.
The Government has launched a website mygov@nic.in
for this purpose. This is a citizen centric platform to empower people to
connect with the Government and contribute towards good governance. Suggestions
are also received on the PMO website. It also seeks expert advice from the
people, thoughts and ideas on various topics that concern India. Citizens can
join the discussion to share, debate and add value.
Dr. Jitendra Singh Minister of State for
Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions gave this information in Lok Sabha
today in a written reply to a question by Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Shri B. Vinod
Kumar and Shri Anantkumar Hegde
