The Chhattisgarh government has announced the creation of a new “Good Governance and Convergence Department” to enhance the effective implementation of state welfare policies and ensure better governance. The decision was made during a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday.
This newly formed department will integrate key initiatives such as e-Review, e-Public Service Guarantee, and the Digital Secretariat, which were previously managed by the General Administration department. The cabinet has also amended the “Chhattisgarh Government Work (Allocation) Rules” to facilitate this change.
In addition, the cabinet approved the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in the state. As part of this policy, education up to the 5th standard will be provided in local languages or dialects, and the current 10+2 academic structure will transition to the 5+3+3+4 format, focusing on equitable and inclusive education from pre-primary to the 12th grade.
The cabinet also decided to extend the registration deadline for providing housing to economically weaker and lower-class families in Naya Raipur under the Mukhyamantri Aawas Yojana. The new deadline has been pushed from March 31, 2024, to March 31, 2027, allowing more time for eligible families to benefit from affordable housing schemes being developed in the area.
