The government of any nation or state runs by the fuel of the hard work of its official machinery that executes the policies and schemes. This official machinery has some growth engines in the form of public servants who go beyond the possible and venture into the territory of ‘impossible’ by devising innovative techniques and methodologies while executive the government’s mandates. These public servants put their sweat and blood into the government system and deserve recognitions in the form of awards and accolades. These recognitions and awards further inspire and motivate a genuine hard worker and enhance performance and productivity of the system in entirety. These Awards create an environment of competition and inspire others to covet for these recognitions. Ultimately, the government succeeds in developing a dedicated work force to meet the people’s aspiration by implementing all the schemes and programs with degree of perfection.
The Government of Rajasthan has envisaged to launch “Chief Minister’s Awards for Excellence in Public Services” (CM-EXCELS) for recognition of innovations and extraordinary achievements while implementing the public policies and schemes. CM-EXCELS Awards will be given away in a State level ceremonial function on “Civil Service Day” every year to the awardees selected through a transparent selection process. CM-EXCELS will inculcate a strong recognition culture and encourage innovations and effective evolutionary environment in the government departments/agencies to meet the community expectations.
