Chandigarh, November 10
A comprehensive Capacity Building Plan for officers and employees of the Haryana Legislative Assembly was formally launched at the Assembly premises on Monday.
The event was marked by an inaugural ceremony, where Speaker Shri Harvinder Kalyan and Shri Manoj Yadava, Director General of the Haryana Institute of Public Administration (HIPA), presented an outline of the training programme. HIPA will serve as the nodal agency for the initiative and establish a dedicated wing for legislative training.
Speaking on the occasion, Speaker Harvinder Kalyan said that the Assembly is carrying forward several initiatives started in the past, in collaboration with the Lok Sabha, while also introducing new measures to enhance the quality of work. Drawing an analogy to the operation of a transport service, he emphasized that as members of a great institution, everyone bears unique responsibilities, and the Assembly’s success depends on the collective fulfillment of these roles.
He further remarked, “Government work is divine work, and it must be performed with complete dedication.” Comparing the institution to a family, he noted that the head of a family remains committed to the welfare of all members, and collective effort, discipline, and a sense of responsibility are key to progress.
Kalyan described the capacity building initiative as a concrete step aligned with the Prime Minister’s ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ vision, aimed at fostering efficiency and dynamism in institutional work culture.
He added that efforts are underway to strengthen the Assembly’s Research Wing and to contribute meaningfully to realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘One Nation, One Legislature Framework.’ He acknowledged the guidance of Lok Sabha Speaker Shri Om Birla in ensuring the systematic execution of these reforms.
Through this capacity building programme, officials of the Legislative Assembly Secretariat will gain deeper insights into legislative processes and become better equipped for transparent, technology-driven operations. The initiative seeks to enhance administrative efficiency, transparency, and technological competence among officers and staff.
“An administration can only remain effective when it embraces continuous learning, innovation, and accountability,” Kalyan observed, adding that the Assembly is not just a center of legislative activity but also a laboratory for good governance, accountability, and public service excellence.
HIPA Director General Shri Manoj Yadava said the training programme will make the Secretariat’s work processes more structured and outcome-oriented. Special sessions will cover topics such as administrative leadership, communication skills, decision-making, and digital management. He clarified that the pre-training assessment should not be seen as an exam but as an evaluation tool to design more effective training sessions. The event saw enthusiastic participation from officers, and the Assembly premises resonated with the spirit of good governance and administrative empowerment.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, Assembly Secretary Rajiv Prasad extended a vote of thanks to all dignitaries, officers, and media representatives.
Later, addressing the media, Speaker Harvinder Kalyan said the initiative would prove to be a milestone in transforming the Haryana Legislative Assembly into a modern, technology-enabled, and efficient institution.
