Move Aims to Boost Efficiency, Embrace Digital Governance
Indian Masterminds Stories

New Delhi: In a significant step towards reforming India’s administrative machinery, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has reportedly hired a private consultant to help design and implement a major bureaucratic overhaul. The initiative is seen as part of the Centre’s broader push to modernize governance and make public administration more efficient, transparent, and digitally empowered.

Mandate: Identify Bottlenecks, Propose Reforms

According to sources, the consultant has been tasked with

  • Analysing the existing bureaucratic structure
  • Identifying operational and structural bottlenecks
  • Recommending a roadmap for reforms
  • Proposing technology-driven solutions to enhance administrative performance

The consultancy’s findings will serve as the foundation for a modernisation blueprint, tailored to align with the government’s vision for digital governance and citizen-centric service delivery.

Expertise from Outside the System

This marks a departure from previous reform efforts that were largely handled internally by the bureaucracy itself. By involving external professional expertise, the Centre hopes to gain an unbiased assessment and adopt best practices from global governance models. The consultant is expected to suggest scalable solutions, such as:

  • Deployment of AI-based administrative tools
  • Performance-based appraisal systems
  • Streamlining file movement and decision-making processes

Focus Areas for Reform

While specific recommendations are yet to be submitted, the focus areas could include-

  • Recruitment and training frameworks
  • Performance management systems
  • Digital workflows and paperless offices
  • Reducing red tape and hierarchy
  • Enhancing inter-ministerial coordination

The move is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emphasis on minimum government, maximum governance and the continuing push for bureaucratic accountability and faster service delivery.

Background: Previous Reform Initiatives

This is not the first time bureaucratic reforms have been considered. Over the past decade, efforts like Mission Karmayogi, lateral entry recruitment, and online performance dashboards have aimed to reform and re-skill the civil services. However, this appears to be the first formal engagement of a private entity to shape comprehensive structural reform at the national level.
