The idea behind the Governance Knowledge Centre (GKC)

“A remarkable movement to reform public management has swept the globe” ( Donald Kettl 2005:1) In UK it was christened as ‘New Public Management’ by Christopher Hoods (1991) while it was referred to as ‘Reinventing Government’ in USA. Its focus has been a development of performance oriented government with greater accountability, transparency and emphasis on production and delivery of services to ordinary people. In India this has reemerged as an ‘Administrative Reforms’ movement starting from the Fifth Pay Commission to the setting of the Second Administrative Reforms Commission and Administrative Reforms Reports."More>>
