President Ram Nath Kovind has completed eight months in office. During this period, his focus seems to be on curtailing wasteful expenditure.


Kovind appears to follow the example of 'simple living, high thinking' set by Mahatma Gandhi.

One of the biggest changes which have been brought about by President Ram Nath Kovind is to check wasteful expenditure in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

It has been brought about by resorting to following measures:

According to sources, soon after becoming the Rashtrapati Bhavan's latest occupant on July 25, 2017, Kovind ordered trimming the number of snacks and dishes cooked inside the majestic monument.

Earlier, at least five types of snacks and several dishes would be cooked in the Rashtrapati Bhavan kitchen every day for the guests and officers. Most of them would get wasted on a daily basis.

Noticing this phenomenon, the president directed doing away this lavish practice. The number of snacks and dishes has been restricted to just two now.

Similarly, the Rashtrapati Bhavan has cut down drastically on flowers for decoration of Rashtrapati Bhavan and placing inside the rooms and halls. This has been cut down to minimum.
