The state government has embarked upon reforming several Acts and Laws, to offer good governance, to eradicate corruption and to eliminate ills and delays and to develop villages and towns said the Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
He was addressing the people from the Golkona fort on the eve of the 73 rd Independence day.The state government has created new administrative divisions to bring governance to the people’s doorstep and for the effective implementation of the development and welfare schemes.
In the past the Telangana state had 10 districts and we increased them to 33 now. Revenue Divisions have been increased from 43 to 69. 459 Mandals have become 584. Municipalities have been increased from 68 to 142. Newly 7 Municipal Corporations were crated increasing their number to 13. Girijan Thandas, Adivasis Gudems, remote villages were made as Special Panchayats.
In the past 8690 Gram panchayats were there and they are increased to 12, 751 now. The gram Sarpanches who are elected recently, for the first time will be hoisting the national flag proudly in their villages, Thandas, Gudems, which have become the Panchayats.
The government has created a new Zonal System so that the locals will get more job opportunities. The state government has enancted an Act, which was accepted by the Central Government. Under the Act, 95 per cent locals will get the local cadre jobs. Now recruitments in the State are being done in accordance with this new Act.
The government is of the view that good governance to people is possible through the administrative reforms only. The existing Acts will not be sufficient to offer good governance without giving any opportunity to corruption. There came a need to replace totally all the old Acts.
This is the reason why the State government came out with a New Panchayat Raj Act and a New Municipality Act. A new Revenue Act is also in the pipeline. With the New Acts, I am sure there will be clean, tidy villages and towns with lots of greenery. The new Revenue Act is being prepared to offer hassle-free services to people and farmers.
