Maharashtra Orders Aaple Sarkar 2.0 Overhaul to Be Completed by August 14

The deadline is intended to cut paperwork, speed up public services and let redesigned digital modules go live for citizens on Independence Day.

Overview

  • Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis held a high-level Government Process Re‑engineering review on Monday and directed all departments to finish simplification work by August 14 so Aaple Sarkar 2.0 can be rolled out on August 15, 2026.
  • The state has reviewed 1,222 services so far and has redesigned 723 services that officials say are directly useful to citizens.
  • Officials said the next phase focuses on full digital integration of reworked service modules, consolidation of duplicate workflows, and a uniform digital framework for municipal and local bodies.
  • The Revenue Department is leading implementation because of its heavy public contact, and outside partners including the Gates Foundation, Samagra and Public App attended the review to advise on execution.
  • Officials expect the reforms to reduce approvals, paperwork and delays for citizens and clerks but warn the rollout will require cross‑department coordination, legacy process rewrites and local digital upgrades to succeed.
