Arunachal Gov emphasises making administration citizen-friendly

Arunachal Pradesh Governor KT Parnaik on Tuesday emphasised the need to make the administration more efficient, transparent, and citizen-friendly.
Discussing key administrative reforms aimed at accelerating development and strengthening governance in the state with Arunachal Pradesh Administrative Reforms Commission (APARC) Chairman, Pramod Jain, the governor advised the Commission to recommend institutional and procedural reforms that would promote digital transformation and e-governance, according to an official report.
Moving towards 100 per cent online government payments, e-Office systems, and paperless transactions, he said, would speed up service delivery, improve transparency, and help curb corruption.
Highlighting the importance of merit-based personnel management, Parnaik stressed the need for transparent systems in transfers, postings, and recruitment.
He said that merit, integrity, and competence must remain the guiding principles in public service.
Earlier, Jain assured the governor that the Commission would recommend wider use of technology, simplified administrative procedures, and effective grievance-redressal mechanisms to further strengthen governance in the frontier state.
