India, Mauritius discuss ways to further strengthen cooperation in public service, training, capacity building
Aug-25-2026

India and Mauritius have discussed ways to further strengthen cooperation in public service, training and capacity building, with greater emphasis on sustained institutional engagement and exchange of expertise between the two countries. Discussions on the issue were held during a meeting between Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Personnel Dr Jitendra Singh and Mauritius's Minister of Public Service and Administrative Reforms Lutchmanah Raj Pentiah at the Kartavya Bhavan.

Singh said the existing cooperation should be taken forward through wider training opportunities, stronger linkages between public service institutions and greater sharing of India's experience in governance, administrative reforms and technology-enabled public service delivery. He said India and Mauritius share a special relationship rooted in deep historical, cultural and people-to-people ties, and public administration and capacity building provide a natural area for further cooperation. He noted that India has consistently supported Mauritius in developing the capabilities of its public servants and that the ongoing engagement now provides an opportunity to build a more structured and enduring institutional partnership.

The minister referred to the understanding reached during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Mauritius last year to train 500 Mauritian civil servants over five years through the National Centre for Good Governance (NCGG), with the first batch already undergoing training at Mussoorie. He said the initiative could serve as a foundation for deeper and sustained engagement between the public services of the two countries, going beyond individual training programmes.

A major focus of the meeting was the development of stronger institutional linkages between Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Public Service and Innovation (ABVIPSI) and leading Indian institutions engaged in public service training and capacity building, including the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) and Institute of Secretariat Training & Management (ISTM). The proposed areas include joint programme design, faculty and training capacity building, exchange of expertise, exposure programmes, sharing of training methodologies, development of case studies and joint research.
