New Delhi, Dec 31 (KNN) Felicitating outstanding employees of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Union Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Jitendra Singh on Tuesday encouraged other government offices to follow best practice of governance.
The employees of DoPT were selected on the basis of their performance under “Award of the Month” introduced by department recently.
On the occasion, Singh said the award is meant to accord and acknowledge, besides giving recognition and respect to the employees of the level of Under Secretary and below who toil day and night for the ministry but whose work often goes unnoticed and unacknowledged.
He said that DoPT being the nodal ministry responsible for experimenting, evolving and developing new concepts to improve the personnel management and performance, it is part of its agenda to constantly recommend ‘best practices’ in governance.
The concept of non-monetary award of the month for an employee of the level of Under Secretary or below will, therefore, set an example for other ministries and departments also to follow, he added.
Citing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s emphasis on good governance, the minister said the employees at the lowest rung of administration are the key to good governance,
He said even though they may not be the visible face of the ministry, it is actually their hard work and diligence which adds glory to the face of the ministry presented by the senior-most officials.
The DoPT employees felicitated by the minister included Office Assistants Ankur Agarwal and Prateek Malhotra, Section Officers Ashish Chatterjee, RK Nagpal and SK Mishra, Under Secretaries MP Rama Rao, SS Shukla, Debabrata Das and Anil Tripathi. (KNN/ST)
