A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the Government of Punjab and the Chandler Institute of Governance (CIG), Singapore, in the presence of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Wednesday at Punjab Vidhan Sabha to work out modalities for exploring leadership training activities and capabilities for officers at MGSIPA.
The collaboration would also focus on showcasing Punjab as a future global investment destination, said an official spokesperson, adding that this is CIG’s first MoU in India.
The MoU was signed by Punjab’s Director, Governance Reforms, Parminder Pal Singh and Executive Director, CIG, Wu Wei Neng. Later both the signatories exchanged the files in the presence of dignitaries from both sides.
The CIG is an independent, non-partisan, not for profit organization based in Singapore and supports governments across the world with capability development, programme and training, resources, advisory and research.
Capt Amarinder said this partnership would further bolster his Government's efforts to woo investments in the state, besides enhancing leadership and training capabilities amongst officers undergoing training at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration. He hoped that the State Government and CIG would make all out efforts to bring pathbreaking reforms in State Administration with this collaboration.
