Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis rolled out the programme at his first meeting with bureaucrats after taking charge on Thursday. At the meeting, attended by 35 bureaucrats who head key departments, Fadnavis said he would hold them personally responsible if their respective departments failed to deliver on these goals.
He also said the government would set up two war rooms, one for infrastructure projects and the other for flagship programmes. Underlining that welfare schemes were the need of the hour, Fadnavis said real-time monitoring with the central government for more funding was an important way to reduce the financial burden on the state exchequer, according to officials who attended the meeting.
The chief minister said the new government would push for e-governance and technology enabled services, thus reducing footfall in Mantralaya and government offices. He told the administration to appoint a committee of retired bureaucrats to frame the steps needed to achieve this goal.
