Government of India has launched mission Karmayogi for making Civil servants responsive to citizen needs. The civil servants are basically responsible for the implementation of the Government schemes. Therefore, this was much awaited reform needed by the government to provide effective benefits for common man. The success of any government scheme basically depends upon its effective implementation where the civil servants play an important role. The government is planning to bring paradigm shift in the HR management of civil services. It is planned to ensure that the right person with right competencies is at right position. It makes a civil servant more efficient, effective, accountable and responsive to the needs of the citizens. This programme will usher in marked enhancement in quality of governance.
