The Commission for Administrative Reforms in Karnataka, led by the leader of the Veteran Congress and the MLA RV DESHPANDE designed more than 189 reforms in various departments, in particular the introduction of a comprehensive framework for better management of the state 34,500 temples.
The Commission has proposed to create the Temple Task Force, which would manage the crowd, emergency answers, tickets and distribution of pigs during festivals and large special events in the temples.
On Thursday, Mr. Deshpande presented the eighth report to the Chief Minister Siddaraiaiah and a new recommendation aimed at revitalizing key sectors such as temple management, food and civil needs, government recruitment, health care to bring better administration, transparency and responsibility in public services.
The panel is in favor of delegation of authority to penalize new jobs for the Endowment Commissioner and bypasses the current dependence on the approval of the financial department in order to increase the efficiency of operations and transparency of the temple.
The salaries of the temple employees are financed from the intake of the temple and not by the state budget. It is therefore expected that the recommendations will speed up the meeting without further financial burden for the government.
