MY TAKE :

Dear Task Force Members ,

In the announcement made, the Key Takeaway is :

“ enhance citizen experience for government services and improve availability of competent work force.”

In this connection, I have earlier ( 01 Oct 2015 ), sent following 119 e-mails to our Cabinet Ministers / State Chief Ministers / NITI Aayog / MPs / MLAs etc

These 119 , do NOT include, may be another 100 concerning “ enhancing of citizen experience for Govt Services “ ( out of some 800 more, sent since March 2018 till today ) – some of which I have narrated at :
