Launched on February 17 last year, during the 100th birth anniversary celebrations of former Prime Minister and Bharat Ratna awardee Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the scheme seeks to encourage creativity, innovation and public-oriented initiatives among government officers and employees.

It was subsequently expanded and revised on April 23 this year. The scheme aims to promote innovative projects that improve government functioning, deliver better results within shorter timeframes and enhance citizens' quality of life.

Officers and employees from Class 1 to Class 4 across various state government departments, heads of departments, and staff of boards and corporations are eligible to participate.

The GAD has asked all departments to publicise the scheme widely, provide necessary guidance to eligible employees and encourage maximum participation.

The online registration requirement is intended to ensure that all project submissions and nominations are completed through a common portal.

Through the initiative, the state government seeks to encourage its workforce to develop innovative solutions to administrative challenges and undertake projects aimed at improving public services.
