Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Maharashtra government mandated five major administrative reforms on August 4, 2026, through a Government Resolution to improve public service delivery under the “Zero Bureaucracy” model. The reforms include increasing administrative departments from 33 to 45, limiting decision-making to three administrative tiers, and introducing Government Process Re-engineering (GPR). The state will also use Aadhaar, Maha Samanvay, DigiLocker, and API-based systems to reduce physical documentation. A state-level GPR Approval Committee chaired by the Chief Secretary will supervise implementation. Maharashtra’s Right to Public Services Act, enacted in 2015, aims to ensure transparent and time-bound delivery of notified public services.
