Sevottam Model\u00a0<\/strong>is proposed by 2nd ARC (Administrative Reforms Commission) for public Service Delivery.\u00a0The word, Sevottam, is a combination of two Hindi words: \u2018Seva\u2019 (service) and \u2018Uttam\u2019 (excellence). This model is now regarded as a standard model for providing services in citizen centric governance. The model is developed by rectifying the drawbacks in the earlier mechanisms of public service delivery like Citizen Charters (CC), and is gradually adopted by various departments under Central and State government.<\/p>\n

What is sevottam model?<\/strong><\/p>\n

  2. Set standards and norms for each service.<\/li>\n
  3. Develop capability to meet the set standards.<\/li>\n
  4. Perform to achieve the standards.<\/li>\n
  5. Monitor performance against the set standards.<\/li>\n
  6. Evaluate impact through an independent mechanism.<\/li>\n
  7. Continuous improvement based on monitoring and evaluation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
