Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh today said that the government is laying greater emphasis on reforms and, over the last 11 years, around 1,600 obsolete laws have been repealed. Dr. Singh said that the government has a forward-looking vision and is promoting good practices.

He added that by 2047, efforts are being made to transform the country into a developed nation through sector-specific reforms. Dr. Singh was addressing the inaugural session of a two-day National Conference on Holistic Development of Districts.

He said that the government launched Mission Karmayogi to bring improvement in working style and performance. Dr. Singh explained that the mission is aimed at moving beyond the traditional rule-book-bound approach, encouraging a mindset of working with innovation and intent.

Union Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel Grievances and Pensions, Dr. Singh, said every district has potential, and they can learn from each other with good practices. Dr. Singh said the Aspirational District programme has explored the innovative potential of officers and paved the way for the development of these districts.
