HIGH PRIORITY AREAS REQUIRING ATTENTION FOR REALISING THE OBJECTIVE OF GOOD GOVERNANCE IN A STATE GOVERNMENT/UT UNDER THE UNION OF INDIA
I.Enforcement of Accountability to ensure implementation of Govt. / CM,s Directives / Programmes/ Policies:- Activating the Monitoring Cell, Having a Precise & to the Point Reporting System in place (Weekly for critical matters and Monthly for all others) on the specially designed ‘Single Page’ Proformas enabling CM to have a ‘Bird’s Eye’ view at a glance about the flow of ‘Activities’ in each of the Departments;
II. Augmentation of Financial Resources (Revenue):-
Ø Strict Tax Compliance:- The current level of Revenue on account of Sales/Excise Tax can be increased by at least 80% (could be even 100%) by eliminating leakages through strict supervision/IT application/simplifying collection mode/prohibitive penalty imposition;
Ø Hydle Power Sales:- The immense potential of hydle power generation needs to be exploited at the earliest to substantially enhance the revenue;
Ø Levying Green Cess(more relevant for hilly States):- Imposition of a nominal ‘Green Cess’ on the Industrial Units in the State would not cause any pinch while the total annual collection could enhance substantially;
Ø Complying with the provisions of FRBM Act:- Containing the State Financial Deficit within the limits prescribed under the Central Financial Responsibility & Budget Management Act would get enhanced central grants quite significantly;
Ø Power Sector Reforms:- Complying with the Central Govt. directions regarding Power sector reforms would enable the State Govt. get additional financial grants;
Ø Small sized Projects under Central Sector Schemes:- There is tremendous scope to seek funding under Central Sector Schemes being controlled by various central Ministries by posing small sized project proposals to get additional allocations;
Ø Food Processing Industries:- The criticality of this activity is not only from the point of view of improving the value addition & preventing wastages but it will also enable the State Govt. in realizing hundreds of crores by way of taxes/cess;
Ø Herbal based Industries:- Development of herbal based industries would not only enable exploitation of the tremendous potential lying dormant in the State but will get substantial revenue to the exchequer;
Ø Reducing Unproductive Expenditure:- Economic Reforms/Public Sector Reforms/Administrative Reforms/Rationalisation measures would result in saving of hundreds of crores to the State exchequer.
The above measures can help the State Govt. in coming out of the vicious cycle of the Debt-Trap, and ultimately would enable achieving very high economic growth for the State.
III. Reforms:- Administrative, Economic, Public Sector, Power Sector, Institutional;
IV. Development through Perspective Planning:- Having a Perspective for each of the Departments to prepare a Long-term Plan from which should emerge the Short-term Plans, as well as the requisite Straregies /Policies /Programmes /Projects /Schemes.
