In a significant move to reshape public administration, Rajasthan's top bureaucrat has issued clear directives to infuse the state's governance model with greater efficiency and public focus. Chief Secretary V Srinivas, on Monday, instructed senior officials to draft a comprehensive action plan embodying the principle of 'Maximum Governance, Minimum Government'.
Blueprint for a Developed Rajasthan by 2047
The core objective of this initiative is to accelerate the state's overall development with a clear long-term vision. The action plan is being formulated under the banner of 'Developed Rajasthan-2047', aiming to ensure inclusive growth that reaches every corner of the state. Srinivas emphasized that the state government's paramount priority is to deliver services to the last beneficiary, ensuring no one is left behind in the development journey.
To translate this vision into reality, the Chief Secretary stressed the critical need for time-bound implementation of budget announcements. He stated that all departments must work with urgency to fulfill the government's objective of providing better and more efficient services to the common people. This approach is expected to make governance more transparent, accountable, and citizen-centric.
High-Level Review at the Secretariat
The directives were issued during a high-level meeting convened at the Secretariat in Jaipur. The meeting saw the participation of key departments including:
- Finance
- Law
- Information Technology
- Personnel
- Administrative Reforms
- Information and Public Relations
During the review, Chief Secretary V Srinivas took detailed information from the departmental officers regarding the progress of various budget announcements and ongoing schemes. This hands-on review underscores the administration's commitment to moving from planning to execution on the ground.
The Path Forward: Transparency and Accountability
The new action plan, once finalized, is set to redefine the interface between the government and the citizens of Rajasthan. By championing Maximum Governance, the state aims to reduce bureaucratic delays and red tape, making systems more responsive. The focus on accountability means departments will be closely monitored for their performance in meeting declared targets and service delivery benchmarks.
This governance overhaul in Rajasthan signals a decisive shift towards a performance-oriented administration. The success of the 'Developed Rajasthan-2047' vision will hinge on the effective and collaborative execution of this action plan across all departments, ultimately aiming to build a more prosperous and equitable state.
