The Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) Development of North-Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Jitendra Singh was addressing the inaugural session of the two-day National Workshop on “Best Practices in Citizen Centric Governance” organized by Department of Administrative Reforms, Pension and Grievances (ARPG), here on Thursday.
Singh said, during the last 15 months of the present government, both the Department of Personnel & Training (DOPT) as well as the Department of Administrative Reforms, Pension and Grievances (ARPG) have taken certain revolutionary decisions which are the result of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s futuristic vision and which could not have otherwise been imagined or visualized in a developing country like India for several more decades to come.
Referring to the Pension Portal option ready to be launched, Singh said, this too is one of the revolutionary steps of the present government which will undo the practice of producing a life certificate which an elderly pensioner was required to produce from time to time.
The new provision will not only make the process easier but will also be a befitting tribute to the dignity of the elder citizens of this country, in the same manner as the Department’s earlier decision of introducing self-attested certificate provision is a reiteration of the government’s faith in the youth of this country, he added.
