Chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat expressed happiness at the State achieving good ranks in the Good Governance Index and Economic Governance category. In an informal interaction with the media on the sidelines of an event here on Friday, the chief minister said that in the North East and Hill States category, Uttarakhand had achieved second rank in good governance index while it had achieved the top rank for economic governance in this category.
Rawat said that the State receiving such an honour at the national level provides motivation to work even better in the interests of the state. The chief minister said, “In the past three years, we have undertaken effective measures for facilitating good governance. Our efforts have been recognised at the national level due to the clean administration and transparent working system in the state. This honour will motivate us to consistently do good work. We will consistently strive to work better and retain the trust of the people of Uttarakhand,” said Rawat.
It is pertinent to mention here that recently the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), Government of India, report on good governance index and sector-wise rankings was released recently in the national Capital.
