Responsiveness of Govt Websites/Phone No.s - Inputs on Root Causes
Below is a summary of the key issues outlined by you on the Responsiveness of Government Websites and Phone Number.
Kindly review them and help identify Root Causes for these Issues. Once we know the Root Causes, we will identify solutions through a separate post and develop our whitepaper on the subject for submission to PMO and associated ministries.
I greatly appreciate your patience and participation in this process. It takes time from inputs collection, collation, submission to some Government action. However, we as citizens are giving the collective overview to the Government along with solutions which will make Government plans/actions/spending much more effective than it has been in the past.
Thanks again,
Rajendra Pratap Gupta
