New Delhi: Union Minister Jitendra Singh said that over 2,000 outdated rules and laws were scrapped by the Modi government in the past nine years for ease of governance and business.

He claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had demonstrated the courage to do away with such rules that were causing inconvenience for citizens. Many of them had persisted since the time of the British Raj and the ultimate aim of good governance is to bring ease of living to the citizens. He added that earlier governments found comfort in the status quoist approach, reported ANI.

Speaking about the laws that were thrown out, Singh recalled ending the practice of getting certificates attested by gazetted officers two to three months after the BJP Government came to power in May 2014.

Within a year, the PM spoke from the ramparts of Red Fort about the abolition of interviews in job recruitment so that a level playing field could be provided. "Most of the functioning was converted online and in order to bring in transparency, accountability and citizen participation, the human interface was reduced to the bare minimum."

He added that the grievance redressal mechanism was shifted to the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS). As a result, about 20 lakh grievances are received every year in comparison to just 2 lakhs.

He was speaking at an event organised by the Yashraj Research Foundation (YRF).
