| Abstract: | This paper examines recent administrative reforms and good governance initiatives in Arunachal Pradesh, with particular reference to decentralization, e-governance, institutional restructuring, and citizen-oriented service delivery. Drawing on government reports, policy documents, and state initiatives such as the Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC), e-Pragati, CM e-Seva, strengthened Panchayati Raj Institutions, and executive outreach programmes such as Cabinet Aapke Dwar, the study analyses reform outcomes, implementation challenges, and emerging governance practices. The findings indicate progress in digital monitoring, decentralized planning, and executive outreach mechanisms. At the same time, persistent constraints relating to infrastructure, human resources, and inclusive participation continue to limit the effectiveness of these reforms. The paper argues that administrative reform yields more sustainable outcomes when it is embedded within democratic processes and informed by culturally grounded governance practices, as these strengthen service delivery and citizen trust. |
