India, Canada to share experience in personnel management

India and Canada will share experience in personnel management to improve governance through Information Technology, the government said today.
During his meeting with Canadian Minister and President of Treasury Board Tony Clement, Union Minister of State in the PMO Jitendra Singh talked about various good governance initiatives taken up by the new government.
"The two ministers announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two countries and sharing of experience in personnel management through Information Technology and data collection," according to a press release issued today by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
Singh told the visiting minister how during the past three months, different initiatives had been taken up to accomplish Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment for good governance.

He particularly referred to the attempts to strengthen the federal structure of the Indian Union through decisions like winding up of the Planning Commission and replacing it with another appropriate body, according to the release.
Singh referred to the current phase of private-public participation in India and hoped that in the background of consistently harmonious relationship between India and Canada, the two nations will mutually benefit.
Clement shared his government's inputs from Canadian Open Data Experience (CODE). He offered to share the same with his counterpart in India.
Clement suggested that the Indian Government should provide its inputs and data which could help in improving the level of personnel management and governance in Canada as well, the release said.
