Modi government keeping in mind the “minimum government, maximum governance” model is about to introduce a Good Governance Index. The government is also focused to optimize the grievance redressal system.

The index is aimed at creating a scientific framework and critical assessment of each state’s problem areas which require additional and targeted action at both the state as well as central levels.

Grievance redressal to be more action oriented
When CPGRAMS was launched in 2014, it got 3 lakhs grievances. The number rose to 11 lakh in the previous year and currently is 6 lakh as of May. The program is a success with the government emphasizing on making it more action-oriented. We will see an upgraded CPGRAMS in the next 3 months with better optimization of grievance redressal system and sector/department wise grievances. The main focus is on the shortening of grievance processing speed.
