New Delhi: Dismantling a legacy of UPA rule, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today abolished all the 30 GoMs (Groups of Ministers) and EGoMs (Empowered Groups of Ministers) and told ministries and departments to take decisions on pending matters.
Announcing the decision to scrap the nine EGoMs and 21 GoMs, the PMO said 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 EGoMs and GoMs and take appropriate decisions at the level of ministries and departments itself, said the statement.
It said wherever the ministries face difficulties, the cabinet secretariat and the Prime Minister's Office will facilitate the decision-making process.
