Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

MITRA : Maharashtra Institution for Transformation

 


Context :

Mitra: State’s Niti Aayog-like body to make Maha trillion-dollar economy   /  HT   /  18  Sept  2022


Extract :


To transform key areas like technology, agriculture and healthcare and make the state a trillion-dollar economy, the Maharashtra government has decided to set up Maharashtra Institution for Transformation (Mitra) on the lines of Niti Aayog. The announcement was made after a high-level meeting with Niti Aayog in Mumbai on Sunday.


Deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said that Mitra will take studied decisions on various sectors including agriculture, new technology like blockchain, and transport.


 

He said that the whole idea for the synchronised efforts is to keep the state up with the national target. He said that they deliberated, during the meeting with Niti Aayog officials, upon asset monetization, innovative approach, EV policy, and emerging technology among others.


 

According to the officials from the finance and planning department, Mitra will work in close coordination with Niti Aayog with the financial and technical support for the first three years.


 

“Niti Aayog officials have assured us help with technological support like data analytics, data sequestration; policy formation, funding and to bring in development strategies.


 

We made a presentation before the Niti Aayog and also discussed the potential growth areas like tourism, sports among others,” the official said.

 

 

Dear Shri Eknath Shindeji / Shri Dvendra Fadnavisji  :

 

Congratulations for this initiative which will take Maharashtra to greater heights of

Social Justice and reduction of Poverty


While framing the ROLE of MITRA, I urge you to consider my following concept

note , sent to our Cabinet Ministers and NITI Aayog, some 3 years ago :


Ø  NITI V 2.0 : a Concept Note………………………….. [ 09 June 2019 ]

 

Extract :


My suggestions re the revised role of NITI :

  

#  Continue with framing of POLICIES for transforming India

 

#  Circulate these among the citizens and invite their comments / suggestions [

    may be online surveys ? ]

 

#  Policy-drafts should centre around each item of BJP’s Sankalp Patra

 

#  Drafts must contain clearly defined concrete STEPS / ACTIONS for achieving

    measurable end-targets

 

#  For each STEP / ACTION , an individual or a department , must be made

    responsible and clearly listed

 

#  For each such plan , a third party independent agency must be identified for

    monitoring actual  achievements

   

 

#  Such Agencies must be granted free access to all necessary government

    records for its assessment

 

#  These ACTION PLANS must be made integral parts of each Ministry’s OUTPUT

     BUDGET as per beginning  made

    

 

#  Agencies shall publish their findings ( of TARGET vs ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENTS ),

    without awaiting govt approval

 

     

#  NITI Aayog must not , itself get involved in any IMPLEMENTATION of

    any Ministry’s ACTION PLAN

 

With regards,

Hemen Parekh
