Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis emphasized the need for government departments to work efficiently and collaboratively to ensure that the benefits of reforms directly reach the public. He highlighted the launch of ‘GPR 2.0’, an ambitious administrative reform initiative in Maharashtra, which has garnered praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for its innovative approach. Fadnavis stressed the importance of implementing administrative reforms systematically through ‘GPR 2.0’ to enhance service delivery.
The first phase of reforms has been successfully completed, with commendable performance from all departments. The upcoming second phase aims for completion by May 1, 2026. Fadnavis urged for a comprehensive effort post-implementation to provide citizens with simpler, faster, and more transparent administrative services. He also underlined the significance of preparing the state’s administrative services, infrastructure, and resources for the future.
Fadnavis highlighted the transformative work being undertaken through ‘GPR 2.0’ and projected the next five to ten years as crucial for these changes. The initiative focuses on empowering government departments and ensuring time-bound implementation through monitoring by key offices. It aims to establish a robust system for citizen-centric administrative services, including a ‘Citizen’s Charter’ for quality service delivery and effective execution of public welfare schemes.
