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What are other such outdated and ill-conceived rules, regulations or practices that hinder the normal day to day lived experience of the people?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.

Problem: Pollution issues in New Delhi due to the crop residue burning in nearby states of Punjab and Haryana. Cause:The Combine harvesters leaving a few inch of wheat/Paddy straw in crop field after harvesting. Solution: (Not a new solution but followed in Southern states, there also Paddy cultivated but never had the pollution problem). - Mixed Farming should be encouraged. Cattle will eat those residues in the field itself. Revenue from cattle + Cattle excretion - Manure for Soil

Thanks for the opportunity. Please form such a directive which says right lane of the road should be freed when there is an Ambulance on the way. This ready knowledge helps traffic to make Ambulance's movement easy and faster by readily giving it a path to move. In this case,only Ambulance can be allowed to cross signals without stopping too. This directive proves very effective once everyone becomes aware of it and starts following. Hoping for some response.We gotta be #nobleSociety. Thanks

There are about 7500 companies are listed on stock exchange. Out of which about 70% listed companies are not showing profit in financial books, not paying any income tax & dividend to shareholders while personal wealth of the promoters and directors has been increasing very fast. Hence, there must be proper investigation of all such companies which are not paying any income tax and their promoters and directors in the interest of the country as well as poor investors.

Looking for a long term solution to reduce petrol/diesel prices is welcome. But under a drastic situation an immediate relief, followed by sustainable action is most appropriate. All are wondering about what is barring the Govt. to announce an immediate relief? Very damaging thoughts about Govt. being “too greedy” for taxes, “least bothered” & too much “over confident” are rapidly spreading. We can only hope that this is not followed by a ridiculous price cut.

"Asaan Zindagi, Acchi Zindagi" The Government shall make life of People ease and also better by improving the surrounding conditions of Village, Town, City with basic infrastructure of roads, health facility and affordable housing. The Government has taken many steps but it has to implemented at a very fast pace. If the Government is able to provide aforesaid to peoples, no one can beat BJP in the next 25 years. India is very lucky to having a dashing and courageous PM Narendra Modi Ji.

As far as govt rules and regulations is concerned I would like to suggest that first of all make the people aware of govt rules, regulations, laws, polity, stctr,acts, orders and constitution by every channel like TV, radio, newspapers, SMS and hoardings in both urban and rural areas. When people get aware they will automatically provide the feedback and then the process of simplification would begin. And this countinous chain of simplification of govt r&r will definitely make the life easier.

Dear PM Sir, Unncessory affidavit should not require at the time of availling Loan, Governement Job/Employeement form, Government eductional course. It has been seen in normal cases, most require affidavit i.e. Declaration of Marriage, Declaration of children. Declaration of Income, Declaration of nominee, Guarantee bond etc.
