Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has rolled out Reforms 3.0, which aims to impetus governance and accelerate the digitisation of administrative processes. The plan identifies 24 citizen-centric initiatives as part of the “transformative journey” touching citizens’ lives and aspirations.

Pema Khandu was sworn-in for a third straight term as Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister on Thursday.

In the cabinet meeting chaired by CM Khandu, it was resolved that governance reforms should be accorded the top priority. A decision was made to achieve 100 percent digitalization of the Finance and Planning Departments to enable all Government payments only through digital mode.

“Committee of Secretaries will be set up to examine the existing compliances and recommend steps to enhance ease of living and ease of doing business including repeal of old and archaic laws,” a release issued by Arunachal Pradesh CMO said.

The Cabinet has also approved creating a golden repository of the state’s citizen data to ensure proactive scheme enrolment with no/minimal enrolment process for citizens.

In other decisions that got the Cabinet approval, a policy think tank named the Institute for Transforming Arunachal (ITA) will be constituted to drive innovation in governance and enable socio-economic transformation.

Also, a Digital Asset Inventory will be created for all public infrastructure, especially schools, hospitals (SHCs, PHCs, District Hospitals), Anganwadi Kendras, etc., to ensure proper planning and utilisation of public assets.

The cabinet also resolved to set up an Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) to examine and provide recommendations for improved organizational structure, recruitment, and staffing policies, with the goal of building a lean, efficient, and agile administrative structure with maximum technology adoption.

As per the CMO’s release, to enhance citizens’ quality of life, the Cabinet resolved to ensure 100 percent physical and digital connectivity to all unconnected villages and Administrative Headquarters, for which a detailed action plan will be prepared.
