Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences, and Minister of State in the PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Jitendra Singh, on December 25, 2025, launched five major digital governance initiatives at the National Workshop on Good Governance Practices 2025 in New Delhi. Marking Good Governance Day, the Minister said these reforms embody a decisive shift toward transparency, accountability, and citizen-centric administration, aligning governance with contemporary technological capabilities.
Good Governance: From Ideal to Everyday Practice
Addressing senior officers, policymakers, and stakeholders, Dr. Jitendra Singh emphasised that good governance is not an abstract principle but a daily administrative responsibility. He noted the special significance of Good Governance Day, commemorating the birth anniversary of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, whose emphasis on probity and people-first governance laid enduring institutional foundations.
The Minister stated that while the idea of good governance predates 2014, it has been realised “in letter and spirit” under the leadership of Narendra Modi, guided by the mantra of “Minimum Government, Maximum Governance.”
Five Digital Initiatives to Strengthen Core Governance Processes
On the occasion, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) launched five initiatives aimed at modernising recruitment, human resource management, and capacity building:
1) Ex-Servicemen Reservation Compendium
A consolidated, updated Compendium of Guidelines on Reservation for Ex-Servicemen in Central Government brings all existing instructions into a single, user-friendly reference. The initiative ensures clarity, uniformity, and timely delivery of benefits, reducing ambiguity and implementation errors across Ministries and Departments.
2) AI-Powered Recruitment Rules Generator
An AI-enabled Recruitment Rules Generator Tool, integrated with the Recruitment Rules Formulation, Amendment and Monitoring System (RRFAMS), will streamline rule-making. By guiding users through simple prompts and auto-generating compliant drafts aligned with DoPT norms, the tool is set to cut delays and inconsistencies in recruitment processes.
3) e-HRMS 2.0 Mobile App
The e-HRMS 2.0 mobile application (Android and iOS) places key HR services directly in employees’ hands. A core pillar of Mission Karmayogi, it integrates service records and processes—promotions, transfers, deputations, training, and superannuation—with platforms such as SPARROW, PFMS, and Bhavishya, enabling paperless workflows, faster approvals, and greater transparency.
4) iGOT Karmayogi AI Platforms
New AI features on iGOT Karmayogi include iGOT AI Sarthi (intelligent discovery of learning resources), iGOT AI Tutor (personalised in-course support), a Specialisation Programme (structured pathways in critical domains), and an AI-based Capacity Building Plan Tool to map roles, competencies, and training needs across Ministries and States.
5) Karmayogi Digital Learning Lab 2.0
The Karmayogi Digital Learning Lab 2.0 introduces next-generation content creation using AR/VR, gamification, and interactive simulations, accelerating the dissemination of best practices and strengthening on-ground implementation capacity across the civil services.
Grassroots Impact and Administrative Culture Shift
Secretary, DoPT, Rachna Shah, highlighted the nationwide Prashasan Gaon Ki Ore campaign conducted during Good Governance Week, covering 700+ districts with thousands of camps for grievance redressal and service delivery. She noted that Special Campaigns since 2021 have driven a culture shift from pendency to outcomes, delivering measurable gains in efficiency, space optimisation, and revenue generation.
Conclusion
Concluding the workshop, Dr. Jitendra Singh said the five initiatives together represent a coherent, future-oriented governance reform agenda—leveraging AI and digital platforms to strengthen institutions while placing citizens and civil servants at the centre. On Good Governance Day, he expressed confidence that these measures will further advance India’s journey toward a responsive, accountable, and future-ready administration, in the true spirit of Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s legacy. Marking Good Governance Day, the Minister said these reforms embody a decisive shift toward transparency, accountability, and citizen-centric administration, aligning governance with contemporary technological capabilities.
