Itanagar, March 17 Arunachal Pradesh Governor KT Parnaik on Tuesday emphasized the need to make the administration more efficient, transparent, and citizen-friendly.
Speaking with Arunachal Pradesh Administrative Reforms Commission (APARC) Chairman, Pramod Jain, about key administrative reforms aimed at accelerating development and strengthening governance in the state, the governor advised the Commission to recommend institutional and procedural reforms that would promote digital transformation and e-governance, according to an official report.
He said that moving towards 100 per cent online government payments, e-Office systems, and paperless transactions 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.
