India's States Urged to Modernize Laws Through C.L.E.A.N. Reform Framework

Imagine a closet filled with old clothes you never wear.

India's laws are a bit like that closet, with many old rules that aren't useful anymore.

These old laws can make it confusing to know what's right and sometimes people might even use them unfairly.

An expert suggests a way to clean out this 'closet' called C.L.E.A.N. First, they want to make a list of all the laws, like sorting your clothes.

Then, they want to check if each law is still needed, if it works, and if it makes sense today, like deciding if a shirt still fits.

Laws that are old and don't work should be thrown out, which is called 'repealing.'

Then, similar laws can be combined, like putting matching socks together.

Finally, it's important to have a system to keep checking and cleaning up the laws regularly, so they are always helpful and up-to-date.

Rajasthan did a big cleanup of its laws, and this new plan could help other states do the same.
