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 to take a 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 Common Man need not be a mere spectator

Develop a Value Driven Service Delivery Culture Personal Effectiveness Leadership Effectiveness Create a Constructive and Effective Service Delivery Culture Co-Relation Between Capacity Building of service delivery personnel and Effectiveness in the Service Delivery What Constitutes Effective Service Delivery ? Effectiveness in Service Delivery always descends from the top Revolution always starts from the bottom.

Lessons to learn 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

Lessons to learn…….. 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. Lessons to learn…….. 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
