MP Govt Mandates Video Conferencing, Approvals for Outstation Travel to Cut Expenses

The Madhya Pradesh government is implementing measures to curtail its expenses and conserve fuel. In a significant directive, the state administration has made video conferencing mandatory for official meetings, thereby reducing the need for physical gatherings.

Furthermore, government employees will now require prior approval before undertaking any outstation travel for official purposes. This move is part of a broader effort to manage public spending more efficiently.

These directives are being implemented in light of prevailing global economic circumstances and a recent appeal made by the Prime Minister of India, urging fiscal prudence across all government levels.
