For which one of the following reforms was a Commission set up under the Championship of Veerappa Moily by the Government of India?
Explanation
The Government of India set up the Second Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) under the chairmanship of M. Veerappa Moily to prepare a detailed blueprint for revamping public administration. Official records and reports identify Moily as Chair of the Second ARC and list its mandate and reports (for example, the ARC’s Report on Ethics in Governance, 2007) [1]. The government notification constituting the Second ARC (August 2005) names Veerappa Moily as Chairperson and outlines terms of reference aimed at achieving a proactive, accountable and efficient administration [2]. The ARC’s first report (Right to Information, June 2006) also carries Moily’s chairmanship and the Commission’s overarching administrative reform remit [3].
