In a meeting chaired by SN Mishra, the chairman of the Madhya Pradesh Administrative Unit Reorganisation Commission, public representatives and citizens were urged to provide input before any administrative unit is reorganized. Mishra emphasized that the goal was to simplify administration, make it more accessible and oriented towards the people.
He stressed that local needs and public convenience should be the main focus when creating and reorganizing administrative units like divisions, districts, tehsils, and janpad development blocks.
Mishra instructed proposals to be submitted to the commission via collectors, accompanied by supporting facts and reasons. Factors considered would include population, geographical distance, natural boundaries, industrial areas, infrastructure, resources, and administrative efficiency. Staffing levels would also need to be adjusted based on the size, workload, and responsibilities of each administrative unit.
Commission secretary Akshay Kumar Singh revealed that the panel was touring divisions and districts throughout Madhya Pradesh to gather suggestions. Commission member Mukesh Shukla provided officials with a questionnaire available on the commission's website. Collector Raushan Kumar Singh shared information about Ujjain's geographical layout, industrial establishments, population, the Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple, and the upcoming Simhastha-2028 festival.
The meeting was informed that proposals could be submitted by citizens, institutions, committees, and public representatives through the commission's questionnaire.
