The initiative that targets 4.6 million central government employees, will be based in three pillars of ‘governance, performance and accountability’
New Delhi: Hitting a reset on civil services, the union cabinet Wednesday approved a mega human resource reform for all the government employees and decided to put in place a four tier mechanism including a PM HR Council to review performance, productivity and capacity of the bureaucracy.
The initiative that targets 4.6 million central government employees, will be based in three pillars of “governance, performance and accountability”. It promises a shift from rules to roles, silos to coordination, inter disciplinary movements and a continuous capacity building exercise among other things
“The scale is so huge that it could probably emerge as the largest civil service reform in the world in terms of spread and in terms of the depth. And what is the ultimate purpose of all this — it is basically to equip the civil servant, with domain and functional competencies, which would be goal driven, and also build behavioral competencies,” C. Chandramouli, secretary of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said after the cabinet meeting.
