Govt to engage with foreign nations to get back black money

Mukherjee in his address also said that the government will provide a clean and efficient administration focussed on delivery.

“The institution of Lok Pal is important to curb corruption and my government will endeavour to formulate rules in conformity with the Act. My government will take steps to build the confidence and morale of our bureaucracy; enabling it with the freedom to work, and welcoming innovative ideas,” he said.

The government, Mukherjee said, will endeavour to put in place transparent systems and timebound delivery of government services.

“Government systems and processes will be revisited to make them citizen friendly, corruption free and accountable.  Efforts will be made to eliminate obsolete laws, regulations, administrative structures and practices,” he said. 

The President also said that the government will pursue convergence and rationalisation of various ministries.  

“Rationalisation and convergence among Ministries, Departments and other arms of the government will be ensured to have focussed delivery. Digitisation of government records will be done for improving accessibility,” he added.
