Some of the reasons why efficient implementation is often difficult in government are: 1. the structures put in place for accountability and transparency that slows down decision making eg. need to hire few extra hands in RBI - have to go through a process, need to rent two extra vehicles to transport the notes - procurement of services process 2. officers tasked with multiple roles eg. a district collector, as young as they are, chair up to 60 committees in a district 3. the implicit complexity introduced when dealing with people, that too such a diverse population - cultures, beliefs, opinions 4. geographical spread.
Even officers and politicians with the best interest are restrained by this system too large to move quickly and efficiently. e-Governance initiatives have improved governance system and speed, but a system designed for accountability and restraint often finds itself insufficient for innovation and change.
