It's time to cut it down. How many invalid government apps are there? Zhejiang | Work | APP
According to the official website of the Zhejiang Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, recently, Cixi, the "number one strong county in Zhejiang", pointed out "formalism at the fingertips" and boldly deleted 16 government apps that connect towns and villages, in order to "loosen the ties" and reduce the burden on grassroots cadres. The news came, and the comment section was flooded with likes, with constant calls for promotion.
How enthusiastic netizens are about deleting government apps, and how annoyed they are with "formalism at their fingertips". In recent years, with the advancement of digital reform, various government apps have emerged, greatly improving the efficiency of administrative work and serving the people. However, in the rapid popularization of "Internet government", there are also many cases of deviation in some places. For example, excessive and excessive development, such as "lighting fires in villages and smoking from households", and the inability to log in to various apps; Some functions are duplicated, the same data is submitted repeatedly, and similar content is filled out repeatedly and repeatedly; There are also those who forcibly use and abuse rankings in promotion, often assessing the download volume and activity of work software... Various "formalistic" practices not only fail to optimize workflow and improve management efficiency, but also empty administrative resources and increase grassroots burden.
"If form is not the form of content, then it has no value." "Formalism at the fingertips" is detached from work reality, occupies grassroots energy, and has a significant negative effect. In recent years, the central government has repeatedly issued orders to strengthen cleaning and rectification, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has also publicly reported on typical issues of formalism and bureaucracy that have increased the burden on grassroots levels. Under clear policy guidance, various regions are gradually squeezing water and eliminating redundancy for government apps that are just superficial. Overall, the effect is quite impressive, but there are still many "new variants" that have revived and become exceptionally strong.
At its root, a distorted view of political achievements is a major incentive. In some places and departments, the deep-rooted thinking of "doing well is not as good as showing off" and "not afraid of dissatisfaction from the masses, but afraid of not paying attention from superiors" has made government apps a tool for "showing off achievements". Or treat flashy decorations as innovative creations, even if there is no actual need, and decorate the facade with some flower decorations; Even if everyone roast, it is also necessary to strongly promote "numbers leave traces", so that everyone can clock in every day and rank every month, just to look good at the statistical charts... Only look at "face", not "inside", only focus on political achievements, not on reality, and technology empowerment naturally turns into "negative energy".
To rectify formalism at the fingertips, we must ultimately return digitalization to the essence of government affairs - seeking truth from facts and serving the people. In the interview, many cadres expressed that while "key to key", they should not forget to "face to face" with the masses. Cutting down unnecessary apps with great force and allowing grassroots cadres to poke their heads out of their mobile screens to salvage and solve problems in the bustling frontline of people's livelihoods is an important step in ensuring that grassroots reduce burden and increase efficiency. Correspondingly, the performance evaluation at the grassroots level should also shift. In addition to listening to reports, reviewing materials, reviewing data, and comparing clicks, more emphasis should be placed on practical work and responsibility, and efforts should be made to correct unnecessary and superficial evaluations.
"Internet plus government" is the general trend, and the governance efficiency contained in it has great potential. More emphasis on practical results and fewer tricks, building useful and limited platforms from the perspective of facilitating the masses and promoting work, is the key to truly achieving technological empowerment.
