According to the directions issued by the government, Ministries have been asked to identify reforms that can simplify processes, improve service delivery and enhance the overall business environment. 

The proposed measures may draw upon recommendations made by the High-Level Committee (HLC), suggestions put forward by the Informal Group of Ministers (IGoM), or reforms identified internally by individual Ministries.

To ensure continuous monitoring and accountability, every Ministry has been instructed to submit weekly updates on the portal every Friday by 12 pm, beginning this week.
