The Delhi government on Tuesday directed all its departments to submit their respective action plans for next three years.

This decision was taken in a meeting of all department heads chaired by the Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, in which it was also decided to set-up nine working groups to be headed by various heads of departments.

Action plan for three years: The working groups have to prepare their action plans for next three years by January 16, 2017. These working groups can add officers from various departments in their teams. They can also take help from educational institutes, universities and experts from the civil society in their work. The Planning Department of Delhi government will monitor the entire process. Sisodia said every HoD should make a blueprint of where they want their department to be in three years from now. Sisodia said the HoDs should also make an estimate of how much money would be required for their projects and what other requirements would be there for implementation in decision making. Sisodia said the blueprints should include targets for six months, one year, two years and three years. He said the central government has asked all the states to prepare the vision documents for the year 2030 and the action plan for next three years should be prepared keeping the long term goals in mind. The Delhi government document will be sent to the Niti Aayog.
