Agree with @Pranay's analysis of the "propse & dispose" regime. That said I'm not convinced that "the new government formed after the General Election must pay special attention to MeitY's administrative capacity" is the solution. I see the unintended consequences of more capacity being an even more rapid cycle of proposing & disposing. What's needed first is a clearer articulation of the mission, the masterplan & the methods needed to support a rapidly evolving space. From here, the right mix of resources (civil service & technical experts) will have to assembled. Given the massive scope creep for the administrative state over the years & the temptation of the political class to announce quick fixes on social media perhaps less is more!
Thanks, Rajesh. Valid point. I think it's not just about administrative capacity, but also law-drafting capacity and intellectual capacity that's of importance.
