The
Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern
Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy
and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh said that the current Government is committed to
make its employees feel comfortable at their workplace so that they are able to
give their best to improve the standards of governance.
Addressing
a function, after presenting “Excellence Awards” to 44 officials working in
various wings and sections of the Department of Personnel recently, Dr Jitendra
Singh said that the Department of Personnel plays a nodal role for bringing
about new reforms for improved functioning in all the other Ministries. From
this point of view, therefore, the standards of functioning within the Ministry
of Department are not only expected to be excellent, but rather above
excellence, so that this may accordingly be emulated by the rest of the
Ministries as well, he added.
Congratulating
the officials and employees who received the awards, Dr Jitendra Singh said
that ideally an official or employee should not expect an award for the work
assigned to him because it is part of his natural responsibilities, but
nevertheless, awards like this carry their own value because they serve as an
incentive and source of encouragement and inspire the officials to further
improve on their performance. At the same time, he said, the peers and other
colleagues in the department also look up to their award-winning colleagues to
educate themselves as to how best to improve upon their working standards and
achieve the same levels of performance.
Dr
Jitendra Singh complimented the Government officials and bureaucrats for having
been fully cooperative with the political leadership during the last
one-and-a-half year of the current Government and said that one of the biggest
achievements of this Government has been that it has succeeded in creating an
atmosphere of comradeship among all the functionaries of Government, regardless
of their position or designation and primarily the credit for this goes to the
Department of Personnel.
He
said that employees at each level are working round-the-clock with the sole
objective of living up to the expectation of the people of this country and to
fulfil the mission of citizen-centric governance under Prime Minister Shri
Narendra Modi.
