Itanagar, Nov 11 (PTI) Arunachal Pradesh Administrative Reforms Commission member Hento Karga has stressed the need for structural and functional reforms, calling for rationalising the administrative machinery.

    Addressing senior Shi-Yomi district officials at a meeting on Tuesday to review administrative challenges and discuss measures to strengthen governance, Karga favoured the creation of posts based on functional requirements, revision of recruitment rules, merger of overlapping services and abolition of obsolete services and redundant administrative structures.

    He also stressed the need to optimise government expenditure, particularly on salaries and establishment-related costs, without compromising the quality and accessibility of public services.

    Underscoring the need for equitable distribution of manpower among districts, taking into account geographical conditions, administrative workload and developmental requirements, Karga also called for ensuring adequate career progression and promotional opportunities for district-level officials to improve institutional efficiency, boost employee morale and encourage professional growth.

    Earlier, Tato Assistant Commissioner Une Pertin highlighted the role of the Administrative Reforms Commission in identifying systemic bottlenecks, recommending institutional reforms and improving the efficiency, accountability and responsiveness of public administration.

    Shi Yomi district's Deputy Commissioner Manjunath R made a detailed presentation on department-wise challenges confronting the district, highlighting inadequate manpower, shortages of sanctioned posts, infrastructural deficiencies, connectivity constraints, uneven distribution of staff and other operational difficulties.

    In the meeting, officers and department heads highlighted operational constraints and shared suggestions for improving administrative functioning. They emphasised the need for context-specific reforms and an administrative framework responsive to the district's geographical and developmental challenges.

    According to the statement, the officials expressed hope that the commission's recommendations would help address longstanding administrative bottlenecks and pave the way for more efficient and responsive governance in the district.
