Overview

Every year 22 - 25 young professionals are recruited as CMGGAs (Chief Minister’s Good Governance Associates) and placed, one in each of the 22 districts of Haryana, to co-work with DCs and the larger district administrations to catalyze quality implementation of 5-7 flagship initiatives of the Chief Minister. A Program Team (PT) from Samagra, stationed in the CM office, manages the program by coordinating with the CM and his team, collaborating with concerned departments (depending on the prioritized initiatives) at the state level, and overseeing the work and experience of CMGGAs.

Approach

Associates work on select flagship programs to address critical issues pertinent in their respective districts. The programme emphasizes professional development of associates through constant mentorship, including regular performance appraisals, problem-solving sessions, skills imparting sessions, and guidance from the Chief Minister's Office. 6 -7 weeks of fieldwork in districts is complemented by a week-long in-person forum, which offers problem-solving and skill-building opportunities through peer learning and sharing best practices. This approach empowers young professionals to develop their knowledge and skills while co-working with district administration to drive impact across the state.

Key Initiatives

Operationalizing Service Delivery
Associates have been instrumental in making the Chief Minister's vision of transforming public service delivery in Haryana a reality. When the initiative was launched, Associates conducted a comprehensive diagnostic of the existing public service delivery system which brought forth its shortcomings. Based on this diagnosis, they then took on the task of revamping and standardizing the way service delivery centres operated across the state. Simultaneously, more than 100 services and schemes were brought online to the Antyodaya Saral portal. Today, the portal has more than 500 schemes and services across 36 government departments. Associates have been the driving force behind operationalizing the service delivery centres.

Grievance Redressal
Citizens typically have to run from pillar to post to get grievances resolved. To this end, the Chief Minister of Haryana set up an online grievance monitoring system. However, this initiative also suffered from inefficiency and poor redressal rate. To mitigate this challenge, Associates established and institutionalised a weekly district level review mechanism which supports Deputy Commissioners in redressing complaints, resulting in an increased grievance disposal rate of 70-80%.
