1.Constitution of the 2nd ARC

The Government of India constituted the Second Administrative Reforms Commission in 2005 under the chairmanship of Veerappa Moily.

The Commission was mandated to propose systemic reforms to foster a more transparent, accountable, and effective public administration.

2.Why a Report on Organizational Structure?

The organizational structure of the Government of India underpins how policies are formulated, coordinated, and implemented.

Over decades, ministries and departments expanded in a piecemeal manner, often resulting in overlaps, duplication of efforts, and inefficient decision-making.

Recognizing these issues, the 2nd ARC focused on restructuring the government apparatus to enhance inter-ministerial coordination and streamline service delivery.
