| Summary, etc. |
This paper describes the reforms carried out by the government of Haryana to rightsize its departments so as to contain the spiraling committed expenditure on salaries and pensions. The government issued detailed guidelines to all administrative secretaries and directed them to formulate restructuring proposals regarding departments under their control. Two high-powered committees were constituted a consider and decide the restructuring proposals. Restructuring has been carried out in a majority of government departments including the Haryana Civil Secretariat and the Finance Department. The actual process of restructuring/rightsizing a few important departments is discussed in the paper to enable other state governments/policy makers to replicate the experiment. Following a solution-oriented approach, the problems encountered in carrying out the reforms and the way they were solved have also been described. The paper concludes with the message that a lean and efficient government system for the delivery of public services is both imperative as well as inevitable in order to contain the non-plan expenditure and lead to greater availability of scarce resources for planned development. - Reproduced. |
