Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh says the aim of “Mission Karmayogi” is to impart a futuristic vision to civil services which could effectively determine the roadmap for the next 25 years and shape the Century India of 2047.
The imperative need of shift from “rule” to “role” in governance is essential to meet PM Narendra Modi’s goal of New India and live up to its aspirations: Dr Jitendra Singh.
The Minister addresses the Workshop on Mission Karmayogi – The Path Ahead, as part of a celebration of Good Governance Week.
Mission Karmayogi will be a key enabler in achieving the goal of $5 Trillion economies set by the Prime Minister: Dr Jitendra Singh.
Addressing the Workshop on Mission Karmayogi – The Path Ahead, as part of a celebration of Good Governance Week, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the imperative need to shift from “rule” to “role” in governance is essential to meet PM Narendra Modi’s goal of New India and live up to its aspirations. He said, the era of generalists is over and this is far more relevant to Administration as we are entering the age of super-specialisation. He said, a civil service ‘fit-for-purpose’ and ‘fit-for-future’ requires a competency-driven capacity-building approach that focuses on imparting competencies critical to discharge its roles and that is exactly the main goal of Mission Karmayogi.
Dwelling on the theme of Integration, Dr Jitendra Singh said that the Indian Institute of Public Administration, IIPA has established a Mission-Karmayogi Resource Cell at IIPA and is working in close coordination with National Capacity Building Commission, LBSNAA and other central training institutions (CTIs). It may be reiterated that in October, this year the Minister had addressed the first-ever Joint Roundtable of 23 Central Training Institutions organized for Capacity Building, at the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) for bringing efficiency in the delivery of services and “Ease of Living” for a common man.
Recalling the former Prime Minister Shri A. B. Vajpayee’s monumental contribution to Good Governance, Dr Jitendra Singh said, it’s an occasion to celebrate his vision of spreading awareness on accountability of the Government. The Minister said that he strongly believes that with citizen-centric governance at its heart, Mission Karmayogi will transform India’s new governance landscape and will deliver excellence in action and work for the welfare of the society.
Dr Jitendra Singh also unveiled the iGOT platform on the occasion with a short introduction.
