NEW DELHI, Feb 24: 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 today said that the Narendra Modi 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 Ministry of Personnel, here today, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Ministry of Personnel is in a way the nodal ministry responsible 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 Personnel 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 today, Dr Jitendra Singh said, 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 Modi government and said, 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.
All of us, he said, whether it is a Minister or a Secretary or a Director or a Section Officer … … all of us are working round-the-clock and putting in endless hours of work in the office, with the sole objective of living up to the expectation of the people of this country and to fulfill the mission of citizen-centric governance under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
