Welcome to Intensive Training Programme-Training for All-Regional Workshop in Guwahati on Training Division Department of Personnel and Training Government of India

Is Government of India making an effort to improve public service quality ? The Economist, March 2005 “We sometimes assume that policies will implement themselves.” “The civil service requires a better delivery culture.” “How do we connect policy with operations?” Citizens Politicians Civil Servants

Reforms in Public Service Delivery have taken Center Stage “Effectiveness and efficiency of public service delivery is increasingly being demanded as a basic right of the citizen. Government is expected to be a service-provider rather than a mere administrator of a public service delivery system”. Dr. Manmohan Singh, Civil Service day speech, 21 April 2006 Getting the “Public” in the Service ! – Laxman’s Comman Man need not be a mere spectator

Approaches adopted for implementing CBPR Project Name of Approach Centralized (district level) Decentralized (block) Decentralized (village cluster) ResidentialYASHADA Pune UPAAM Lucknow ATI Mysore None Non ResidentialNoneHIPA, Gurgaon UAA, Nainital ATI Kolkata MATI Meghalaya RCVPNAA, Bhopal MATI, Meghalaya (for remote areas) HIPA Gurgaon (for elected reps & village committees) ATI Punjab Centralised Residential: Training venue organized at a centralized place where the trainees are expected to stay full time. Rigorous and resource intensive. Decentralised Non-Residential: Training more closer to the workplaces of the trainees, day program. Less resource intensive, larger geographical reach.

Emphasis supplied on some lessons to be learnt ATI has to emerge as the facilitator: ATI has to transform its role from an actual provider/implementer of training to that of a catalyst and facilitator. Existing infrastructure and facilities with the ATI should not be a constraint: The reach and capacity of the ATI to provide large scale training has to be extendable. Demand driven training in close partnership with the client departments: District administration and the line departments are two important partners whose cooperation has to be successfully obtained. Systematic approach to training: The States have to closely follow DoPT model on systematic approach to training

Emphasis supplied on some lessons to be learnt…….. Providing the citizen’s perspective to the trainees through involvement of Civil Society Organisations: Apart from trainers from the departments and the ATIs, trainers with NGO affiliations also to be involved to provide an “outside the government” perspective to the trainees Convergence of development schemes and processes through training: has to be attempted through bringing all stakeholders in a particular sector to one common training programme or through making a frontline functionary repository of all knowledge on development schemes for enabling one source information. Potential trainers drawn from the concerned departments and trained as trainers: Large scale training capacity has to be created by drawing candidates from line departments and developed as trainers.

Training of grass root functionaries leads to improvement in public service delivery : The reports from the field should indicate that the trainees (post training) have taken up interesting and innovative initiatives at their job sites. Emphasis supplied on some lessons to be learnt…….. Concurrent process documentation: This may help internalise the learning from the programme and build an intellectual capital and knowledge management with the help of the National Documentation Centre
