About GKC |

|
The Capacity Building for Poverty Reduction
(CBPR) Programme, launched by the Ministry
of Personnel, Public Grievance and Pensions
in 2005, aims at building the capacity of
the Indian civil service for improved
public service delivery for the purposes of
poverty reduction. The Governance Knowledge
Centre (GKC), undertaken by the Department

Grievances (DAR&PG) has been envisaged as a
key initiative under CBPR to serve as a
digital single point of reference on good
governance practices that would aid in
building capacity at the district, state
