‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance’ was the mantra given by Shri Narendra Modi. The changes made in the NDA Government are true to this belief in Minimum Government & Maximum Governance.
One of the initial decisions of the new government was to abolish all the existing nine Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoMs) and twenty-one Groups of Ministers (GoMs). This would not only expedite the process of decision making but also usher in greater accountability in the system. The Ministries and Departments will now process the issues pending before the EGoMs and GoMs and take appropriate decisions at the level of Ministries and Departments itself.
The other major decision taken by the Government has been to abolish the Planning Commission. While questions were raised over the relevance & working of Planning Commission in the past, it was the Narendra Modi led NDA Government which showed the gumption for reform. The newly proposed institution will cater to the aspirations of 21st century India & strengthen participation of the States.
