New Delhi, Dec 25 (UNI) On the occasion of Good Governance Day, observed annually on 25th December, union Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh, on Thursday said the DoPT department is launching five major initiatives aimed at strengthening core governance processes, supporting key stakeholder groups, and equipping civil servants for the challenges of a fast-evolving administrative landscape.
The minister inaugurated the National Workshop on Good Governance Practices 2025 in Delhi.
Addressing senior officers, policymakers and stakeholders, the Minister highlighted that good governance is not an abstract ideal but a daily administrative responsibility rooted in transparency, accountability, and citizen-centric delivery.
The first initiative is a Compendium of Guidelines on Reservation for Ex-Servicemen in Central Government, which consolidates all existing instructions into a single, updated, and user-friendly reference. Dr Jitendra Singh said this step reflects the government’s commitment to honouring the service of ex-servicemen by ensuring clarity, uniformity, and timely delivery of reservation-related benefits, while also reducing ambiguity and errors in implementation across ministries and departments.
The second initiative is an AI-powered Recruitment Rules Generator Tool, integrated with the Recruitment Rules Formulation, Amendment, and Monitoring System (RRFAMS) portal.
The Minister explained that recruitment rules are the backbone of fair recruitment and career progression, and the new AI-enabled tool will significantly reduce delays and inconsistencies.
The third launch is the mobile application for e-HRMS 2.0, available on Android and iOS, which places key human resource services directly in the hands of government employees. Developed as a core pillar of Mission Karmayogi, e-HRMS 2.0 integrates service records and HR processes such as promotions, transfers, deputations, training and superannuation. Dr Jitendra Singh said the mobile app will reduce paperwork, speed up approvals, and enhance transparency in personnel management.
The fourth set of initiatives relates to new AI-enabled features on the iGOT Karmayogi platform. These include iGOT AI Sarthi for intelligent discovery of relevant learning resources and an AI-based Capacity Building Plan Tool to help ministries and states systematically map roles, competencies, and training needs.
The fifth initiative is the Karmayogi Digital Learning Lab 2.0, a next-generation facility designed to produce high-quality digital learning content using modern technologies.
The Minister said the upgraded lab will enable faster and wider dissemination of best practices, reforms, and critical skills across the civil services, strengthening implementation capacity on the ground.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that taken together, these initiatives reflect a coherent, future-oriented approach to governance reform, one that leverages technology, strengthens institutions, and places citizens and civil servants at the centre of change.
The Minister noted that Good Governance Day holds special significance as the nation commemorates the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who institutionalised the concept of probity in public life and laid the foundations of people-first governance.
