Deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday said that the state government is formulating a new training policy for all public servants, making three trainings mandatory for every public servant during their service tenure. The draft policy will soon be placed before the state cabinet for its approval.
The government also plans to link promotion to training. Under the proposed scheme, every department will have to spend 1.5% of its budget on training of its officers and other employees, Modi said while addressing a joint session of Bihar Finance Service and Bihar Administrative Service officers here on Friday. He said the state government will set up an Administrative Training Institute (ATI) at Gaya at an estimated cost of Rs 49.90 crore. The institute will train public servants.
Modi said people across the country have raised their voice against corruption and Bihar has set an example by passing the Right to Service Act. The ministers as well as all government employees had declared their assets. Even Centre has emulated Bihar in this regard, said Modi. He said both public leaders and officers are public servants and they should come out of the mindset of being 'Janata Ke Malik (Master of the people)'. He said people still honour really honest public servants.
The deputy CM said that public servants should follow new ideas. Easy accessibility, transparency and honesty to the core is necessary qualification for a public servant. He called upon officers to achieve the target of a developed Bihar by 2015.
