Reimagining Public Administration: The Urgent Need for a Government Efficiency Department in India
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: India’s public administration system, despite significant advancements in policy and digital governance, continues to face chronic challenges such as corruption, bureaucratic inefficiency, and lack of accountability. This article argues for the establishment of a dedicated Department of Government Efficiency to systematically monitor, evaluate, and enhance the performance of government bodies. Such a department would focus on eliminating corruption, reducing red tape, streamlining service delivery, and improving transparency through data-driven governance and performance-based evaluation. Drawing on international best practices and models such as the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and Singapore’s Public Service Division, the article outlines a roadmap for integrating this proposed department within India’s existing administrative framework. The initiative is presented as a transformative step toward building a more efficient, accountable, and citizen-centric governance system.
