Good Governance Award Scheme by Haryana to recognize outstanding public service
The state government has notified the ‘Haryana Good Governance Award Scheme 2024’ (Haryana Sushaasan Puraskaar Yojana 2024).
Babus in Haryana will no longer be able to enjoy foreign trips or hospitality sponsored by a private agency or
organisation. An official spokesperson said the state government has issued guidelines regarding foreign travel by government officials and decided that privately sponsored foreign visits of officers by private
organisations should be avoided.
"It has come to the notice of the government that many departments refer matters to the government for cadre clearance where the expenses of entire foreign visit are borne by a private agency or organization
with whom the department has official dealings," he said.
The spokesman said that the provisions of the All India (Conduct) Rules, 1968 be complied with by the officers working in connection with the state.

"Every member of the service shall not place himself under any financial or other obligations to any individual or
organization which may influence him in the performance of his official duty. The rules further state that the member of the service shall avoid accepting lavish hospitality or frequent hospitality from persons having official dealings with them or from industrial or commercial firms or other organisations," he added.
A written communication to this effect has been sent to all administrative secretaries, head of departments, managing directors of Boards and Corporations, divisional commissioners and deputy commissioners urging them that the provisions of these rules must be adhered to while sending any proposal for cadre clearance to the personnel department of the State government, the spokesman said.
