Panel to bring good governance

No specific “Panel to bring Good Governance” has been constituted. However, eight Groups of Secretaries (GoS) were constituted on 01.01.2016 to deliberate on eight thematic areas which have a direct bearing on the socio-economic development of the country and to come up with a roadmap for achieving specific outcomes. Out of these, one Group was on the subject of ‘Good Governance – Challenges and Opportunities’. The reports submitted by the Groups were circulated to the Secretaries of all Ministries/Departments, who were required to prepare Departmental Action Plans based on the recommendations arising out of the reports. The Ministries/Departments have sent these Action Plans along with implementation schedule to NITI Aayog which has been entrusted with the task of monitoring and implementation of the same.

This was stated by the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri A.U.Singh Deo in the Rajya Sabha today.
