## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE (DR. JITENDRA SINGH)

(a) to (c):  The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions conducts capacity building training for international civil servants through the National Centre for Good Governance (NCGG), an autonomous society under  DARPG.  DARPG /  NCGG have signed Memorandum of Understandings  (MoUs)  with United  Kingdom,  France,  Portugal,  Singapore,  Bangladesh,  Australia,  Cambodia,  Gambia, Maldives,  and  Malaysia  in  the  field  of  Public  Administration,  Public  Policy  and  Governance Reforms.  Areas  of  Co-operation  of  the  MoUs  includes  capacity  building  of  international  civil servants in India. In the period 2014-2024, more than 4,500 international civil servants from 32 countries have visited NCGG for mid-career capacity building program (including multi-country program) on public policy and governance. The total number of civil servants to be trained by the year 2029 depends on the requests / requirement of the partner countries under the extant MoUs and other bilateral arrangements.

Capacity  building  program  for  international  civil  servants  focuses  on  best  practices  & innovation in governance of Government of India enabling dissemination and replication of India's good governance models in foreign countries. The focus areas of India's governance model being imparted  in  classroom  sessions  include  Vision  India  @  2047,  New  Paradigm  in  Governance Effective  Redressal  of  Public  Grievances,  Aadhar,  PM  Gati  Shakti,  Disaster  Management Practices,  Digital  Public  Infrastructure,  Digital  India,  Skill  India,  Blue  Economy,  Swamitva Scheme etc.  The international civil servants are also attached with Delhi Metro, UPSC, Election

Commission of India, International Solar Alliance, District Administration, etc. International civil servants also undertake group work projects on their specific learnings from the programme and future areas of collaboration.
