New Delhi, Oct 03: Union Minister of State, Dr Jitendra Singh Monday officially launched the web portal (http://www.pmawards.gov.in) for Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Administration, 2022.
The formal launching was organised by the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances, Union Ministry of Personnel, at Sardar Patel Bhavan here.
Principal Secretaries (AR)/(IT) and DCs/DMs of all the 28 States and 8 UTs of India as well as Assistant Secretaries of 2020 Batch were invited for the launch ceremony in hybrid mode.
The registration on PM’s Awards web portal will commence from October 03, 2022 for due registration and the submission of applications will be operational from October 03, 2022 to November 28, 2022.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Jitendra Singh said, under the leadership of Prime Minister NarendraModi, the entire concept and format of the PM Excellence Awards has undergone a revolutionary change after 2014. The objective of the Scheme is to encourage constructive competition, innovation, replication and institutionalisation of best practices.
Under this approach, the emphasis would be on good governance, qualitative achievement and last mile connectivity, rather than only on achievement of quantitative targets. With this focus, the applications for Awards would be evaluated on three parameters, Good Governance, Qualitative and Quantitative, the Minister said.
