General Administration Department · Government of Maharashtra

The department that runs every other department.

General Administration does not build roads or run hospitals. It decides who sits in which chair, whether that chair is funded, how long a file may be held, what a citizen is legally owed and by when, and what happens to an officer who fails. When it works, nothing is visible. When it does not, everything else slows down. This console reads that machinery as one system.

Why this screen exists

A single reading of the department that runs every other department: who is on the rolls, which chairs are empty, which files are stuck, and which citizen entitlements are running late.

Hover or tap a spoke

Each spoke is a department. Its length is the size of its establishment, its dot is how well that establishment is functioning, and a red ring means more than three in ten of its sanctioned posts are empty. The centre is the department that answers for all of them.

The counter a citizen actually reaches
Who holds it

General Administration is customarily held by the Chief Minister. Devendra Fadnavis holds it now, with Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde shown alongside on the department's own site. That is not ceremonial: it means every establishment decision has a direct political line.

Who runs it

The Chief Secretary, Rajesh Aggarwal of the 1989 batch, who took charge at the end of November 2025 and is ex-officio head of the state IAS cadre. He came to the chair from Additional Chief Secretary, General Administration, and before that from Information Technology — which is why an AI portfolio has a hearing here at all.

What it is answerable for

Four things, on every screen that follows: are the posts filled, are the files moving, are the statutory clocks being met, and are citizens' complaints actually being resolved. Everything else on this console is a way of drilling into one of those four.

One line per department, five strongest above the rule and five weakest below it. The index is a summary of the five columns beside it, weighted as set out on the method screen, and every component is arguable — which is the point of showing them together.
