Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh said here today that Government is committed to ensure transparency in governance. Speaking to a delegation of “Right to Information Assessment & Advocacy Group”, an organization of RTI Activists, Dr Jitendra Singh said that transparency is a part and parcel of the “good governance” concept.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, during the last six months, several important measures have been adopted to make the governance easy and more accountable. In this context, he referred to a recent decision to have a single self-attested affidavit which eliminates the requirement for attestation by gazetted officer, notary or a similar other authority. In addition, all the major government decisions are now being uploaded on the website, he added.
