New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI) Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Wednesday said many of India’s best practices in governance are being emulated by other countries of the world and underscored initiatives such as the Mission Karmayogi and Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS).

Meeting a five-member delegation of Tanzania here, he said both the countries share multifaceted relations which, in the recent years, have evolved into a modern and pragmatic relationship with sound political understanding, diversified economic engagement, people-to-people contacts in the field of education, healthcare besides development partnership in capacity building training among others.

The delegation led by Jenista Joakim Mhagama, Minister of State in the President’s Office for Public Service Management and Good Governance of the United Republic of Tanzania had called on Singh, the Minister of State for Personnel, here.

Lauding India’s governance practices, Joakim Mhagama said she was accompanied by a high-level Tanzanian delegation which looked forward to learning from India’s vast and varied experience in governance, according to a Personnel Ministry statement

While extending a warm welcome to the Tanzanian delegation, Singh observed that many of India’s best practices in governance are being emulated by other countries of the world, it said.

He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a number of best practices like Mission Karmayogi and CPGRAMS (Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System) have evolved in the last 7-8 years.

Singh assured Tanzanian minister that India would be happy to support Tanzania to design and develop “Performance Management Information System and Public Employee Performance Management Information System” in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness of public services in the east African country.

The Union minister said India and Tanzania enjoy traditionally close and friendly relations in all spheres.

It is worthy to note that Tanzania has about 50,000 people of Indian origin and about 10,000 NRIs working in that country.

The purpose of the visit of Mhagama is that Tanzania wants to understand the management of CPGRAMS, implementation of biometric system of attendance in central government offices in India, mechanism of implementation of Aadhaar, e-office system implemented in government offices in India, according to the statement.

“They are also keen to learn about the reforms being upgraded in the bureaucracy and the training of the bureaucracy aimed at good governance and bureaucratic accountability,” it added.
