States must adopt Union Govt’s best governance steps: Jitendra
Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Wednesday said that the State Governments should actively adopt the Centre’s best governance practices to accelerate the ‘Viksit Bharat’ journey.
He said platforms such as Mission Karmayogi (for Government employees capacity building), CPGRAMS (Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System), Digital Life Certificate (for pensioners) and other technology-driven governance systems have demonstrated how reforms can improve the life of citizens while enhancing transparency, accountability and efficiency, and should be replicated more widely across the country.
Addressing a press conference on the ‘12 Years’ Achievements of the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions’, Singh said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, governance reforms have ceased to be merely administrative exercises and have become powerful instruments of social and economic transformation. He asked the State Governments to actively adopt the Centre’s best governance platforms, administrative reforms and citizen-centric service delivery models developed by the Government of India, saying that these initiatives have transformed public administration, strengthened citizen trust and are increasingly being studied internationally as successful governance models.
Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel, said the last twelve years have witnessed a profound transformation in the functioning and identity of institutions responsible for personnel administration, governance reforms and pensioners’ welfare.
