This Commission has been set up to improve the welfare of the disadvantaged, marginalized and deprived sections in Punjab and achieve good Governance based on high ethical standards. The motivation for the Commission comes from the fact that the present system of governance is not optimally suited to the challenges of unequal access of social programs and skewed distribution of benefits of the various economic programs based on gender, caste and class. The mandate of the Commission is to suggest changes in the process, procedures, rules regulations and design of the public services, ensure dignified access of these services to the disadvantage, marginalized; and deprived sections of society including women. |
