Kerala Cabinet clears proposal to create Business Policy and Process Re-engineering Cell
The Kerala Cabinet has established a Business Policy and Process Re-engineering Cell to improve inter-departmental coordination and prevent project delays. The initiative aims to transition the state toward data-driven governance and reduce the financial losses caused by stalled infrastructure projects.
Why it matters
Administrative reform is essential for government efficiency, as bureaucratic delays often lead to significant cost overruns in public projects.
The Kerala Cabinet on Wednesday decided to create a Business Policy and Process Re-engineering Cell at the Secretariat designed to foster coordination among government departments and avoid delays in the implementation of projects.
The cell, under the General Administration Department, is part of the UDF government’s efforts to take the State towards data-driven governance, Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan said at a post-Cabinet press briefing.
The new arrangement is aimed at streamlining coordination among departments and enabling the offices of the Chief Minister and the Chief Secretary to have a clear idea about the position of government files and projects, he said.
