Dwelling on Administrative Reforms, Dr. Jitendra said, ever since Narendra Modi came to power in 2014, the Prime Minister gave us the mantra ‘Minimum Government – Maximum Governance’, which means a government to act as a facilitator, not an intimidator. When we talk of a government like this it means increased transparency, increased accountability and most of all increased citizen participation.
Speaking about the transparency and accountability in the governance, Singh said that the benchmark for clean and effective government is the robust grievance redressal mechanism.
