He said, Nepal’s federal system resembles that of India and that the Government of Nepal is working in order to make the public administration more suitable to the federal set-up.
Nepal GAD Minister conveyed his Government’s keen interest to learn from the governance practices in India, particularly Personnel management and management of public administration, so as to replicate such practices in Nepal as well. He also referred to his government’s endeavor to mobilize Civil Services in all the three tiers of governance, for which the Government of Nepal has brought in Civil Servant Adjustment Ordinance, 2018.
Dr Jitendra Singh assured his counterpart Minister from Nepal of all the possible help and cooperation from the Ministry of Personnel, Government of India. He said, the collaboration between India and Nepal becomes far more easier, considering the friendly and harmonious relationship shared by the two nations and the people-to-people affinity between the two countries.
Responding to the Nepal GAD Minister’s request for exchange of faculty and other mutual interactive programmes, Dr Jitendra Singh said, he would arrange a meeting of the GAD officials from Nepal with the officials in DoPT, so that they could mutually work out what is most suitable for them.
