China offers lessons for India in downsizing government

Quote from The Times Of India:

"The Chinese government is preparing to dismantle the ministry that has swaggeringly delivered the world's largest high-speed network over the last few years. This is just one among many measures China is undertaking to reduce corruption and leakages while boosting efficiency and sending a forward-looking signal to the markets. It follows on earlier reforms when more than 40 ministries and commissions in China were cut down to just 29."
