Sevottam
The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, Government of India, had undertaken a project on 'Capacity Building for Good Governance' to develop a standardized methodology for bringing about improvements in citizen service delivery and public grievance redressal. This necessitated the development of Sevottam model with the overarching objective of improving the quality of public service delivery in the country. Sevottam is a generic framework for bringing continual improvement in public service delivery till excellence is achieved. Sevottam word is a fusion of two Hindi words Seva and Uttam which means 'excellence in service'.
The first component of the model requires effective charter implementation thereby opening up a channel for receiving citizen's inputs into the way in which organizations determine service delivery requirements.
The second component of the model, 'Public Grievance Redress' requires a good grievance redress system operating in a manner that leaves the citizen more satisfied with how the organization responds to complaints / grievances, irrespective of the final decision.
The third component 'Excellence in Service Delivery', postulates that an organization can have an excellent performance in service delivery only if it is managing the key ingredients for good service delivery well, and building its own capacity to continuously improve delivery.
The ability of such an assessment model in influencing service delivery quality will be a function of how tightly improvement actions are linked to assessment results.
Shri Krishna Institute of Public Administration has been designated as nodal agency in the state of Jharkhand for sensitization and capacity building with respect to sevottam. A separate sevottam cell under Joint Director Sri Anjani Kumar Mishra, JAS is functional in SKIPA. Till date Skipa has organized 13 workshops cum training programme. The sevottam cell aims to sensitise all service delivery departments of the state in the ensuing year. Change management as well as Research and Development are the important focus areas for the cell with various service delivery departments.

Training Need Assessment Cell
Effective training or development depends on knowing what is required for the individual, the department and the organisation as a whole. With limited budgets and the need for cost-effective solutions, all organisations need to ensure that the resources invested in training are targeted at areas where training and development is needed and a positive return on the investment is guaranteed. Effective TNA is particularly vital in today's changing workplace as new technologies and flexible working practices are becoming widespread, leading to corresponding changes in the skills and abilities required.
Analysing what the training needs are is a vital prerequisite for any effective training programme or event. Simply throwing training at individuals may miss priority needs, or even cover areas that are not essential. TNA enables organisations to channel resources into the areas where they will contribute the most to employee development, enhancing morale and organisational perormance. TNA is a natural function of appraisal systems and is a key requirement for the award of Investors in People.
Effective TNA involves systematic planning, analysis and coordination across the organisation, to ensure that organisational priorities are taken into account, that duplication of effort is avoided and economies of scale are achieved. Al potential trainees should be included in the process, rather than rely on the subjective evaluation of managers. Ideally, managers should also receive training in the process of TNA itself, to clarify what they are trying to achieve and what is their approach. With this idea a TNA cell at SKIPA uder Sri Dipanker Shri Gyan, JAS, Dy. Director (Admin.) has been established. This cell is at present doing TNA for Disaster Management department & UNDP for the District & Ranchi and Dhanbad. The draft report is Complete. Finalization of report is in its last phase. The Disaster Management department is planning to do the same exercerise for rest of districts of the state. Many other department have also approached SKIPA for similar exercises.
