PM Modi’s Governance Reforms have Deep Social Impact
Katra (J-K), May 29 (PTI) Union minister Jitendra Singh on Sunday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s governance reforms have a deep social impact and are aimed at achieving ‘ease of living’ for the common man through ‘ease of governance’.
Addressing the Jammu and Kashmir BJP working committee meeting on the party programmes planned to celebrate eight years of the PM Modi-led Govt, he said while most of the governments take pride in introducing new laws and rules, it was under Modi that over 1,600 such rules and laws had been done away with which had become obsolete and lost relevance with the passage of time.
These, he said, included abolition of practice of getting documents attested by a gazetted officer, abolition of interviews for recruitment to government service and abolition of pension laws which laid cumbersome conditions on the sanction of family pension to separated/divorced daughters of deceased employees or families of missing employees.
He said the hallmark of Modi’s governance model is his capacity to take out-of-box decisions, break the taboos of the past and the capacity to convert government’s campaign into mass campaign on the basis of his courage, conviction and sincerity.
In this regard, Singh cited the prime minister’s decisions like “unlocking” the space sector for private players and making a call for swacchta campaign during his Independence Day address which instantly turned into a mass campaign and people carried it forward as if it had been initiated by them only. He said when we go to the masses and discuss eight successful years of the PM Modi-led Govt, it will be an opportunity for us to promote the culture and potential of start-ups in Jammu and Kashmir because this directly relates to the livelihood and sustainability of youth and youth are also going to be main opinion makers in the years to come.
In reference to Amrit Mahotsav, Singh referred to Vision@2047 and said the future roadmap for India @100 has to be determined by relevant indices at that time and the new parameters based on new factors like Artificial Intelligence.
