UP is a role model for the country in administrative reforms and capacity building: Jitendra Singh

Lucknow, Oct 23 (UNI) union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, administrative reforms have been prioritized since 2014, with efforts being made to develop a system that increases citizen confidence and makes government services simpler, more transparent, and accountable.
"Uttar Pradesh has set an example for the country by adopting these reforms and demonstrating remarkable performance in capacity building. The state's achievement of first place under Mission Karmayogi and completing the highest number of training courses on the i-Got Karmayogi platform are significant achievements," he said.
Expressing gratitude to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the Northern Regional Workshop held in Lucknow, Dr Singh said that the cooperation received from the administration during the organization of programs in Uttar Pradesh and the Chief Minister's personal interest play a crucial role in the smooth completion of tasks.
Dr Singh said that after the formation of the Central Government in 2014, steps were taken such as eliminating the requirement of document verification by gazetted officers and making the recruitment process for government jobs more transparent. Following the Prime Minister's call, initiatives were taken to eliminate the system of interviews in recruitment to reduce the possibility of discrimination in the selection process.
He also mentioned initiatives such as employment fairs, the Centralized Public Grievance Redressal and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS), and the Digital Life Certificate. The use of biometric and face recognition technology in the Digital Life Certificate has provided convenience to pensioners. The union Minister said that it is necessary to move beyond a 'rule-based' approach in administration and adopt a 'role-based' methodology. The Mission Karmayogi and i-Got Karmayogi platforms further this vision.
He said the registration of over 1.9 million users from Uttar Pradesh on the i-Got Karmayogi platform, among the nearly 1.70 crore personnel registered nationwide, is a significant achievement for the state. A large number of training courses have been completed in the state on subjects such as yoga and artificial intelligence. Over 350 training institutes and training units from Uttar Pradesh have been registered on the Unnati portal.
He stated that under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Uttar Pradesh will continue to serve as a national role model in the field of good governance and administrative capacity development. He commended the efforts of the state government, officials, and training institutes, stating that Uttar Pradesh's experience could prove inspiring for other states as well.
Addressing the inaugural session of the Northern Regional Workshop, Chief Secretary SP Goyal said that the success of government schemes is determined not by their number, but by how effectively, transparently, and equitably their benefits reach the common citizens. He informed that over 1.9 million personnel in the state have registered on the e-portal so far. Approximately 37.5 million courses have been completed through it, and a total of over 470 million learning hours have been recorded. He commended the contributions of all departments, officers, and employees for this achievement.
The Chief Secretary informed that over 350 training institutes and training units in Uttar Pradesh have registered on the Unnati portal, the highest in the country. He said that in accordance with the directives of Chief Minister Adityanath, the use of artificial intelligence and new technologies is being promoted in the administration.
Capacity Building Commission Chairperson S Radha Chauhan stated that building a competent, efficient, and citizen-centric civil service is essential to achieving the goal of a developed India. To achieve this, the role-based training system under Mission Karmayogi must be transformed into a competency-based system. He informed that during the Sadhana Week held in April, initiatives such as Unnati Abhiyan, Karmayogi Kartavya Program, and Karmayogi Quality Framework were launched. The Karmayogi Kartavya Program aims to inculcate a spirit of service, especially among frontline workers, while the Quality Framework aims to ensure quality training.
The Northern Regional Workshop, with participation from eight states and four union territories, focused on enhancing the capacity of training institutions and adopting modern training methods to develop an efficient administrative system suited to future challenges.
