Bhopal : The Madhya Pradesh government is planning to set up a school that would work as a think tank in the context of prevailing trends in global and local governance and will also analyse government policies and their effects.
The proposed school, to be named as 'School of Good Governance and Policy', is slated to work as an autonomous organisation and will be run by a governing body with Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan as its chairman.
This was decided at a state cabinet meeting held here a few days ago.
A sum of Rs.50 million has been earmarked for the establishment of the school, said an official Saturday.
A high-level committee, to be chaired by the state chief secretary, is also being constituted for construction of the institution and appointment of staff.
The school will provide a platform for various organisations and welfare groups to make administration people-oriented.
"The school will provide technical guidance and services to local bodies and organisations of national and international standard for research in their programmes and administrative reforms," said the official.
