Best Practice and Indian Experience

Until August 2014, Dr. Prajapati Trivedi was Secretary to the Government of India with the responsibility for Performance Management in Government of India. Based in the Cabinet Secretariat, he reviewed and reported on the performance of all government departments to the Cabinet Secretary and Prime Minister. He designed and implemented the Performance Monitoring and Evaluation System for Government of India that covers 80 departments and 800 responsibility centers under them. Under his guidance 18 States of the Indian Union are at various stages of adopting PMES. During 2009-2014, Dr. Trivedi was involved with a large number of administrative reforms and helped pioneer implementation of many of them. Some of his other major contributions are: implementation of Citizens’/ Clients’ Charter and Grievance Redress Mechanism in government departments, ISO 9001 certification of government departments; E-office implementation; and implementation of Corruption Mitigation Action Plans. He also served as Chairman of the National Authority for Chemical Weapons Convention, representing India in the Executive Council of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague, The Netherlands. Today, India’s National Authority is considered to be an example of best practice globally. Dr. Trivedi has worked in more than 25 countries of the World and published four major books on various aspects of public sector management and privatization. One of his books is still used as an Economics textbook at Harvard University.
