To date, India's National Centre for Good Governance has trained 2,650 officers from Bangladesh
India's National Centre for Good Governance (NCGG) has successfully concluded its special capacity building programme on public policy and governance for 16 Deputy Commissioners from Bangladesh.
Held from July 15-20, 2024, this one-week programme was organized in partnership with the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme and the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India. This initiative aligns with the philosophy of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ (the world is one family) and the ‘Neighbourhood First’ policy advocated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
During the programme, the Deputy Commissioners had the opportunity to interact with Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology, Earth Sciences, and Minister of State for the Prime Minister’s Office, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions Jitendra Singh. He emphasised the mutual benefits of exchanging best practices and knowledge to tackle common challenges faced by both countries.
In his address, Singh highlighted the success of India's developmental programmes such as PM Awas Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, and the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS), which are now being replicated in Bangladesh. He proposed identifying "twin districts" in India and Bangladesh that face similar issues, fostering cooperation and the exchange of best practices.
“India and Bangladesh share a profound historical bond, encompassing cultural, linguistic, and civilizational ties. It is heartening to see bright senior civil servants of Bangladesh attending the Capacity Building program conducted by the NCGG,” Singh remarked. He underscored that India has consistently upheld a relationship of mutual trust, equality, and understanding with Bangladesh.
MoS Singh praised the strengthening of Indo-Bangladesh ties through Prime Minister Modi’s 'Neighborhood First' policy, which focuses on capacity building, infrastructure development, and people-to-people connections. He emphasized that these efforts align with the visions of 'Viksit Bharat @2047' and 'Smart Bangladesh Vision 2041'.
Following the completion of the first phase of the capacity building programme for 1,500 civil servants, the NCGG signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Bangladesh to enhance the capacity of an additional 1,800 civil servants by 2025. To date, with support from the MEA and in close cooperation with the Indian Mission in Dhaka, the NCGG has trained approximately 2,650 officers from Bangladesh. This week-long programme included interactions with senior Secretaries to the Government of India and District Collectors and Magistrates on various initiatives and best practices across critical topics.
The valedictory ceremony was chaired by V Srinivas Secretary, Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) & Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare (DPPW) and Director General, NCGG. Prisca Poly Mathew, Chief Administrative Officer, NCGG, also attended the event.
The programme was supervised and coordinated by A.P. Singh, Course Coordinator and Associate Professor, NCGG; Gazala Hasan, Associate Course Coordinator and Assistant Professor, NCGG; Sanjay Dutt Pant, Programme Assistant, NCGG; and Akash Sikdar, Young Professional, NCGG, along with the dedicated training team of NCGG.
The Deputy Commissioners from Bangladesh expressed gratitude to India for organizing this programme and recalled that India was the first country to recognize Bangladesh as a nation and establish diplomatic relations.
This initiative not only strengthens bilateral ties but also empowers governance through the exchange of knowledge and best practices, paving the way for a collaborative future between India and Bangladesh.
