The Scheme and Web-portal for Prime Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Administration 2023 was launched recently by the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public Grievances.
- The Award Scheme has been redesigned to spotlight the District Collector's performance by targeting individual beneficiaries and employing a saturation approach in implementation.
- It aims to honor civil servants' contributions under two categories: 10 awards for the Holistic Development of Districts across 12 priority sectors and 6 awards for Innovations spanning Central Ministries/Departments and various States and Districts.
- The scheme's goal is to foster healthy competition, innovation, replication, and the establishment of best practices.
- It prioritizes good governance, qualitative accomplishments, and enhancing last-mile connectivity over solely achieving quantitative targets.
