GoI abolishes all EGoMs and GoMs for speedy,efficient,accountable decisions

New Delhi, 31 May, 2014

In a major move to empower the Ministries and Departments, the Prime Minister today decided to abolish all the existing nine Empowered Group of Ministers (EGoMs) and twenty-one Groups of Ministers (GoMs).

This would expedite the process of decision making and usher in greater accountability in the system.

The Ministries and Departments will now process the issues pending before the EGoMs and GoMs and take appropriate decisions at the level of Ministries and Departments itself.

Wherever the Ministries face any difficulties, the Cabinet Secretariat and the Prime Minister’s Office will facilitate the decision making process.
