Minimum Government and Maximum Governance
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 repeal of obsolete/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.
Doing away with the practice of submitting Affidavits for small level executive
jobs in the Government and allowing Self-Certification of certificates is one
important step in this regard. This has greatly led to the reduction in
time and effort on the part of both the citizen as well as the officials in
many Government offices.
Leveraging the power of information technology
brings with it the advantage of transparency and speed for the benefit of the
citizens. In this regard the Government has embarked upon a time bound
Digital India Plan. The details of this plan are available on the Website
of the Department of Electronics & Information Technology (www.deity.nic.in). As a part
of Digital India Plan, the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public
Grievances has been made the nodal ministry for implementation of e-Office in
Central Ministries/Departments. The Department is regularly monitoring
implementation of the e-Office project. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj
has moved into 100% e-Office platform.
The Central Secretariat Manual of Office (CSMOP)
has been revised and the 14th Edition of the CSMOP was brought
in the form of e-Book form on 22nd May, 2015, which is
available on the website www.darpg.nic.in. This is a much reduced and simplified
version of the manual in comparison to the earlier editions. A number of
redundant and repetitive literatures and words have been removed.
The Government of India has also taken a number of
initiatives for improving ‘Ease of Doing Business’. The emphasis has been on
simplification and rationalization of the existing rules and introduction of
information technology to make governance more efficient and effective.
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 and india.gov.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.
This was stated by Minister of
State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister
of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Dr. Jitendra Singh in Lok Sabha today
in a written reply to a question by Shri Nalin Kumar
Kateel, Shri B.N. Chandrappa, Shri D.K. Suresh and Shri R.K. Bharati Mohan.

Change in Recruitment Policy
The Central Government has decided to dispense with
interview for all Group ‘C’ and non-gazetted posts of Group ‘B’ category in
Central Government.
Staff Selection Commission and Central Ministries/Departments have been instructed on October 5, 2015 and October 9, 2015 to implement these decisions.
If a Department considers interview absolutely necessary for any specific posts, then clearance of Department of Personnel & Training is necessary.
DoP&T will monitor the progress in this regard.
This would promote merit based selection and enhance transparency and objectivity in the selection process.
This was stated by Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Dr. Jitendra Singh in Lok Sabha today in a written reply to a question by Prof. K.V. Thomas.
