Governance is commonly defined as the exercise of power or authority by political leaders for the well-being of their country’s citizens or subjects. Various governance reforms have been promoted by the government in recent times.

Statement 1 is incorrect: ‘Mission Karmayogi’ (not the PRAGATI Scheme), also called the National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building (NPCSCis launched for the capacity building of Civil Services in India. It aims to prepare Indian civil servants for the future by making them more creative, constructive, imaginative, proactive, innovative, progressive, professional, energetic, transparent, and technology-enabled. It aims to do comprehensive reform of the capacity-building apparatus at the individual, institutional and process levels for efficient public service delivery.

Statement 2 is correct: Common Service Centers are the access points for delivery of essential public utility services, social welfare schemes, healthcare, financial, education and agriculture services, apart from host of B2C services to citizens in rural and remote areas of the country. Thus, it provides both public and private services to the citizens. It is a pan-India network catering to regional, geographic, linguistic and-cultural diversity of the country, thus enabling the Government’s mandate of a socially, financially and digitally inclusive society.

Statement 3 is incorrect: Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation I.e., PRAGATI Scheme (and not the Mission Karmyogi )is a unique integrating and interactive platform aimed at addressing common man’s grievances, and simultaneously monitoring and reviewing important programmes and projects of the Government of India as well as projects flagged by State Governments.
