==Communitization==
During his tenure as Chief Secretary, [[Nagaland]], R.S. Pandey was instrumental in conceptualizing an implementing a new form of governance, referred to as Communitisation. Communitisation dealt with the improvement of publicly delivered services such as [[education]], [[health]], [[electricity]] etc.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/3790 |title=Communitization of Public Institutions and Services|publisher=newstrackindia.com|date=24 June 2008}}</ref> These reform measures led to significant improvements in service delivery including increase in power tariff collections, quality of health centres and fall in number of drop-outs from communitized [[elementary School]].
