(SHRI V.

The Commission was mandated to suggest measures to achieve a proactive, responsive, accountable, sustainable and efficient administration for the country at all levels of the Government among others. The Commission submitted 15 Reports to the Central Government on various aspects of Governance. The Central Government has so far considered 13 Reports of the Commission. Out of 1005 recommendations, which have been accepted, 533 recommendations have been implemented and 472 recommendations are under implementation. The decisions of the Government on these reports are available at www.darpg.gov.in, and the same have been circulated to all concerned Central Government Departments/States/Union Territories to ensure implementation. The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances has a plan scheme titled ‘Scheme for Administrative Reforms’. The budgetary allocations under the scheme for last three years are given below- 

However, all Ministries and Departments of the Government of India are implementing reform measures in a decentralized manner and centralized data on budgetary allocation for such implementation are not available.
