Unburdened by Governance legacies, Chhattisgarh has focussed only on critical areas of
law and order, education, health, environment, social safety nets, fiscal reforms and
e-governance. The State has become an enabler and facilitator for the creative energies of
its people. Government keeps out of all activities that can be done more efficiently by
the private sector. There are no more than six Public Sector Units, that too in critical
areas of Social Concern.

To eliminate red tape and procedural hassles in getting all sorts of
clearances, a special law has been enacted- the Chhattisgarh Investment Promotion Act,
2002, This lays down statutory time limits for all clearances, to be given by a single
Point-of-Investor Contact. Facilitation services for the Investor and time bound approvals
are thus guaranteed by law in Chhattisgarh.

'Chhattisgarh 2010'- the State's Vision Document lays out the five key actions of the
State over the next 10 years and lays special stress on enhancing our human capital. In
order to translate the Vision into reality, six-monthly milestones have been prescribed;
and we are well on our way to realize the Vision for Chhattisgarh- the Fast Track State.
The State cabinet meets every Tuesday and decisions come quickly. All Government
functionaries are easily accessible and Chief Minister has an hour- long Jan Darshan every
morning where he meets people with no prior appointment.
 |
Decentralized governance has been firmly established in Chhattisgarh.
Strong local governments in both urban and rural areas are halfway into their second term
after elections under the 73rd and 74th amendments in 1994 and 1999. Most social sector
programmes are run by our Gram Panchayats and urban bodies
|
The State secretariat has an organic linkage with the local governments in
urban and rural areas, as well as district officials. Quick reflexes and a lean
bureaucracy ensure a hassle-free environment in Government offices. The small size of
government is reflected at all levels. Fiscally prudent policies have ensured that there
has been no overdraft from the Reserve Bank of India. The State Government has maintained
a cap of 40% on all establishment expenditure.

E-governance in Chhattisgarh is oriented towards ensuring people’s
access to Government. This makes the Government even more responsive and transparent.
People can access a video-conference based Public Grievance Redress System to interact
regularly with the Chief Minister and other functionaries. CHOiCE (Chhattisgarh Online
information for Citizen Empowerment) is a State-wide e-governance project, being
implemented by the focal agency for IT, CHiPS (Chhattisgarh infotech Promotion Society)
headed by the Chief Minister. |

To alleviate hassles that investors face in getting
permissions, we have constituted a State Investment Promotion Board (SIPB) by a
legislative Act. The SIPB will be a single contact agency bound by law to issue all the
required clearances within a definite time frame, or such clearances would be deemed
granted to the investor. |
