One of the important endeavors of the present government has been to improve the 'Ease of Living'. In simple words, this means that the citizen-government interface, in matters of daily routine, must be made as seamless as possible and as citizen friendly as possible. Among other things, this has translated into reforming many rules and regulations and in an overwhelming number of cases completely doing away with such antediluvian rules which had not only outlived their utility, but in many cases were frankly anti-people. The mandate has been clear - between the citizens and the governments, the rules and processes must defer to ensuring the ease of living of citizens.

Consider for example the earlier rule of seeking gazetted officers attestation to validate one's documents before appearing in exams. That rule is now history. Trusting the citizens was the mandate and self-attestation is now the new rule. Or consider the move to scrap interviews for non-gazetted Group D, C and B government jobs. In one stroke the entire industry of 'recommendations' has been shut down and pure merit has become the norm.

What are other such outdated and ill-conceived rules, regulations or practices that hinder the normal day to day lived experience of the people? In day-to-day governance issues what are the processes or system that can be simplified or simply done away with? Which are processes that serve the exact opposite purpose they are intended to serve? Rules, regulations and laws that serve no useful social purpose but merely create unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy and therefore need to go?

MyGov invites citizens, members of civil society, journalists, students, teachers, police officers, government employees, Parliamentarians, academics experts, bureaucrats, social media influencers, Think Tanks and all other interested people to give their considered view on the subject.

सरकारी नियम में वाक्य "ऐसा नहीं कर सकते" से शुरू होता है. अर्जुन पुरस्कार प्राप्त एक महिला पर्वतारोही गंगोत्री-गोमुख क्षेत्र में भोजपत्र आदि के पेड़ लगाने का काम कर रही थी, लेकिन जंगलात विभाग के अनुमति-पत्र में इतने सारे प्रतिबंधों का उल्लेख था, मानो अपराध किया जा रहा हो. नियमों को सकारात्मक होना चाहिए, जो नागरिकों को उत्साहित करें, न कि हतोत्साहित. इनकी भाषा सरल हिंदी/अंग्रेजी में हो, क्लिष्ट हिंदी में लिखी बात को जब ज्यादा पढ़े-लिखे ही नहीं समझ पाते तो आम लोग इनका आशय कैसे समझ सकेंगे?

India provided legal framework for digital signatures at least 15 years back, though it has hardly taken off. While we have slogans like Digital India, can we at least reduce the amount of paper work in every single walk of life by merely using digitally signed documents? Whether it is loan applications, academic admissions, investments, everywhere they collect 100s of paper without even caring about authenticity. Digitally signed documents will not only reduce papers but prove authenticity.

'Be the change that you wish to see in the world.' - Mahatma Gandhi

If Govt wants to promote digital transactions, can they begin with all departments of the central, state govt and local bodies? Can they all be mandated to provide a digital option for every single payment?

As we know that cbse has announced the date sheet of class 12.As a matter of fact that jee main 2018 is on 8th April and physical education is on 9th April. So, how can students appearing in jee can reach the exam center from remote or living in far places from the exam center. My home town is 500km away from the exam center. It would be difficult for me to reach there. I don't know that why cbse is playing with our future as both the exams are conducted by the cbse board. Pls do something!!😤

There should be a policy like "No License No Petrol".Licence is mandatory to get petrol and it is needed to scan at petrol filling stations. Digital payments through licence can also be possible. Limit can be set to control extra usage. Carrying licence must be compulsory for owning vehicle, but at least it should be compulsorily required for driving. Many problems can be solved like traffic, accident, pollution etc.
