Itanagar: The Arunachal Pradesh Administrative Reforms Commission handed its inaugural report to the state government on September 2. This move aims to sharpen how the state functions. Chief Minister Pema Khandu wants a government that actually works for its people.
Khandu posted on X to highlight the progress. He stated, "The presentation of the First Report of the Administrative Reforms Commission, led by chairman Pramod Jain, marks an important step in that direction." He believes these changes will build a responsive, people-centric administration.
The state government set up the panel in November 2024. Its goal is to audit state operations against shifting socio-economic needs and India Vision 2047. Former IAS officer Pramod Kumar Jain took the lead as chairman in July 2025. The team also includes retired civil servant Hento Karga as a member and the secretary of the Administrative Reforms and Training Department acting as member secretary.
The commission has a heavy workload. They must review organizational structures, streamline departments, and fix manpower planning. The mandate further includes process re-engineering, strengthening district offices, and pushing for better e-governance. The panel spent months consulting with departments and local stakeholders to spot bottlenecks. Now, they aim to ensure the administrative system aligns with the unique needs of Arunachal Pradesh.
