Itanagar, Sep 2 (PTI) The Arunachal Pradesh Administrative Reforms Commission on Wednesday submitted its first report to the state government, marking a significant step towards making governance more efficient, responsive and people-centric.
Sharing the information in a social media post, Chief Minister Pema Khandu said administrative reform was essentially about making the government work better for ordinary people.
“The presentation of the First Report of the Administrative Reforms Commission, led by chairman Pramod Jain, marks an important step in that direction,” he said in a post on X.
The chief minister said the reforms proposed by the commission could help build a more efficient, responsive and people-centric administration in the state.
“Administrative reform is about making government work better for ordinary people,” he said, underlining the exercise’s focus on improving the government’s functioning and its delivery of services to citizens.
Khandu said the report marked an important stage in the state’s efforts to strengthen its administrative machinery and make governance more responsive to the needs of people.
“These reforms can help build a more efficient, responsive and people-centric administration for Arunachal Pradesh,” the chief minister added.
The commission, headed by former IAS officer Pramod Kumar Jain, was constituted by the state government in November 2024 to examine the existing scope and functioning of the government and suggest measures in view of changing socio-economic circumstances and the state’s contribution to the India Vision 2047.
The panel’s mandate covers a wide range of areas, including reviewing the organisational structure of the state government, streamlining departments, manpower planning and process re-engineering, strengthening district administration, improving public service delivery, promoting participatory governance and expanding e-governance, officials said.
It has also been tasked with examining whether the existing administrative system is suited to the state’s developmental requirements and its unique socio-economic conditions, they added.
The government appointed Jain as chairperson of the panel in July 2025. The commission also comprises retired civil servant Hento Karga as member, while the secretary of the administrative reforms and training department has been appointed its member secretary.
Since its constitution, the commission has held consultations with government departments, district administrations and other stakeholders to identify administrative bottlenecks and seek suggestions for improving governance and service delivery. PTI UPL UPL MNB
