Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has approved a 'good governance manual-2023' to make the administration more efficient and transparent. The manual, which was first published in 1963, has been revised after six decades.
 
The manual is a framework for administrative reforms, structure and procedure. The CMO said the revised format was the first-of-its-kind for any Indian state. "The document a  committee of former bureaucrats has prepared to make the administration accountable, easy, efficient, dynamic and transparent was discussed on Friday.

The draft law made on the recommendations will be sent to the Law and Judiciary Department for approval," the CMO said, adding that a separate section for a Climate Change Department has been created.
