Goals, Objectives and Policy Framework

India’s foreign policy goal is to ensure a peaceful and secureneighbourhood, cordial and balanced relations in all fields with

major powers and mutually beneficial partnerships withdeveloping countries. The multilateral dimension of India’sforeign policy has a global recognition and has acquired addedsignificance with hosting of the BRICS Summit, the ASEAN-India commemorative Summit and the IOR-ARC Ministerialmeeting in 2012. Significant challenges of global dimensionsexist in front of the country today, which require global efforts tocombat them. Issues such as threat to peace and securityincluding international terrorism, disarmament, environment,human rights, natural disasters, trade, technological self-reliance,reform of the international financial architecture and internationalorganisations, food and energy security etc. are some of theissues which require multilateral cooperation to tackle them.

The Ministry has the prime responsibility of executing the foreignpolicy of India by constantly monitoring the prevailing andemerging situation in the world.

the developmental aspirations of its billion-strong population.The country is striving to build a global order in which India’sinterests are secured, its strategic autonomy safeguarded andis conducive for achieving the overriding goal of rapid, sustainedand inclusive socio-economic development of the country. Toachieve these goals, it is imperative that there is peace andstability in the country’s immediate and extended neighbourhoodand an enabling environment that provides a sustained andpredictable basis for India’s engagement with the internationalcommunity for trade, acess to natural resources, capital, andenergy flows and technology.

One of the essential and key elements of India’s foreign policyhas been technical and economic cooperation with othercountries.

However, India has alwaysshared its technical expertise in building human resourcescapacity in other developing countries, training foreign personnelin India for educational and skill enhancements, undertakingdevelopment projects in partnership with recipient countries andin full consultation with them and extending aid in times of naturaldisasters. Such assistance has been extended through bilateralas well as regional and multilateral mechanisms.

Development cooperation with other countries is conductedunder the Technical and Economic Cooperation programmeencompassing virtually the entire developing community ofnations. Nearly 47% of Ministry’s budget is devoted to Technicaland Economic Cooperation with other countries. With eachpassing year, the quantum of projects dealt under this programmeand their geographical spread has been growing. The immediateneighbourhood is accorded priority in any country’s foreignpolicy. India’s assistance to the neighbouring countries has beenthe most significant.

The Ministry has been rendering passport, consular and otherservices to Indian nationals residing inside India and outsidethrough its various passport offices located in India and Missions/Posts abroad. The Ministry renders visa services to nationals ofother countries visiting India. The Ministry has also launchedthe Passport Seva Project to bring about a quantum improvementin the quality of passport services rendered to Indian nationals.

FSI conducts the basic professional training for allthe new entrants to the Indian Foreign Service as well as holdsmid-career training programmes and refresher courses forserving officers and other officials of the Ministry. The FSI alsoconducts Professional Courses for Foreign Diplomats (PCFD)which enjoys great popularity and in which large number ofdiplomats from foreign countries participate regularly. SpecialPCFD was organized for diplomats from ASEAN countries asthe year 2012 marked the 20th anniversary of the ASEAN-India

The Research andInformation System for Developing Countries (RIS) is also athink-tank mandated to function as an advisory body of theMinistry.

The Ministry undertakes the task of purchase of properties inIndia and abroad for the government.

CHAPTER - II - OUTLAYS AND OUTCOMES

growth at home has given the requisite encouragement topromote greater economic cooperation with other countries. Ithas also enabled Indian enterprises to move into the markets ofother countries and introduce their products and technologiesin these markets. A higher budgetary allocation for technical andeconomic cooperation has been made in the Financial Year2013-14.

The Ministry’s outlay on technical cooperation is made forprojects to be undertaken in other countries. Smooth executionof such projects is always dependent upon the internal political,security and economic developments in the beneficiary State.The conception and implementation of these projects is a longdrawn out process. It begins with consultations with thebeneficiary state to identify the project, the terms of the technicalassistance, its financing and thereafter concluding a bilateralMOU/Agreement for its execution. The Ministry initiates steps toobtain the requisite approvals of the Competent Authority in Indiafollowing prescribed financial rules. Work is awarded to thequalified bidder for executing the project. The Ministry also triesto build the capacity of the beneficiary nation so that they couldmaintain and sustain the projects set-up with India’s technicalassistance after the completion of the project.

The growth rate of the Indian economy slowed to 6.2 per centand 5.0 per cent in FY 2011-12 and FY 2012-13 respectively.Nevertheless, despite this slowdown, the compound annualgrowth rate (CAGR) for gross domestic product (GDP) at factorcost, over the decade ending 2012-13 is 7.9 per cent.

India is one of the major economies of the world and is expectedto play a more important role in the management of global polityand economy. India will play its due and commensurate role ininternational bodies. The Ministry would play its appropriate rolein the current situation by responding to the challenges andopportunities available. India hosted ASEAN-IndiaCommemorative Summit in New Delhi in December 2012 tocommemorate twenty years of ASEAN-India relations. At theSummit, the leaders unanimously endorsed elevating ASEAN-India partnership to Strategic level. India also hosted the BRICSSummit for the first time in New Delhi in March 2012 with extensivediscussion among top five emerging economies to boost mutualcooperation and take steps to jointly respond to commonchallenges.

The Ministry would continue to focus on promoting technicalcooperation with other developing countries. The economic

CHAPTER III - REFORMS AND POLICY INITIATIVES

With a view to discharge its function in an efficient and effectivemanner, the Ministry undertakes constant review of existingpractices to improve them. Several new policy initiatives havebeen taken in the last year and follow-up action has been takenon promised initiatives. Significant progress has been achievedin this sphere. The Ministry is conscious of the fact that reformsand policy initiatives must be undertaken to make it responsiveto the dynamics of India’s foreign policy goals, which areultimately aimed towards serving the national objectives andaspiration of people of India. Some of the major initiatives andreforms that have fructified and/or initiated are as follows:

Development Partnership Administration (DPA)

An overarching structure called the Development PartnershipAdministration was created in the Ministry in January 2012 forensuring speedy and efficient implementation of Government ofIndia’s external economic assistance programmes as well asfor smooth coordination with other Departments and Ministriesof GOI for this purpose. The Division has been mandated toestablish procedures for efficient handling of developmentprojects and streamline and upgrade capacity buildingprogrammes under various schemes. In 2012-13, the transfer ofprojects to DPA from various Territorial Divisions in the Ministry

progressed in tandem with DPA developing the technicalexpertise required to handle multiple projects in diverse sectorsand regions through various stages of project appraisal,implementation monitoring and evaluation. It is expected thatDPA with its in-house expertise in diverse sectors will be ableto cut down on delays to a great extent which are ofteninescapable whenever multiple divisions/departments oragencies are involved in formulating a project.

E-publishing of Tender Inquiries on Central PublicProcurement Portal

The Ministry has complied with the Government guidelines topublish all tender enquiries on the Central Public ProcurementPortal (CPPP) developed by the Public Procurement Cell,Ministry of Finance. In this regard, it has been made mandatoryto publish all tender inquiries, corrigenda thereon and details ofbid awards on the Portal by all Divisions of the Ministry, BranchSecretariats, Passport Offices and Autonomous Bodies of theMinistry w.e.f. January 1, 2012. Missions and Posts abroad havealso been brought under this purview w.e.f. 1 March 2012. It aimsat greater transparency and facilitation of easy access to biddersin public tendering by making available all tender enquiries ofthe Ministry at a centralized website.


84

Integrity Pact

A provision has been made from January 1, 2013 for signing Pre-contract Integrity Pact for all procurements / projects of the valueof ` 50 crore and above between Ministry and the prospectivebidders / sellers. Integrity Pact is a tool for preventing corruptionin public procurement / contracting under which the governmentagency offering a contract and the companies/agencies biddingfor it give undertaking that they would abstain from bribery, collusionand other corrupt practices for the extent of the contract. Itestablishes mutual contractual rights and obligations to reducethe high cost and distortionary effects of corruption in publiccontracting / procurement. The Ministry is in the process ofappointing independent external Monitors as stipulated in thePact.

Passport Seva Project (PSP)

PSP is one of the principal projects undertaken by the Ministryto bring about qualitative and quantitative improvement inrendering passport services to the citizens of India as part ofNational e-Governance Plan. By June 2012, all the planned 77Passport Seva Kendras (PSK) were set up and operationalisedin the country. More than 69 lakh passport applications havebeen processed under the new system till January, 2013. TheProject is being run with over 3,000 persons deployed by M/s TataConsultancy Services (TCS), the contractor and nearly 2,400officials of the Ministry and the Central Passport Organization.The implementation of PSP has led to increased access ofpassport outlets to the public, more counters and increased publicdealing hours, connectivity of the system to the district police

headquarters to ensure faster police verification and statusupdates to the citizens through SMS and e-mail. This has led tobetter governance, transparency and accountabilitywhile accessing passport services and has considerably reducedthe delay and difficulties in submission of passportapplications.

Social media in Public Diplomacy

Realizing the importance and power of the Internet in engagingwith foreign and Indian audiences for an informed foreign policydiscourse, the MEA’s Official Spokesperson is available on allprominent social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube,Flicker in order to disseminate Government’s viewpointsuccessfully to a larger population. Ministry’s Public DiplomacyDivision is actively engaged across social media digital platformsincluding Facebook, Twitter and Youtube by regular generationand updation of interesting and informative content on variousfacets of India. By the end of 2012, nearly 80 Missions and Postshave created their Facebook pages and several are now activeon Twitter. These sites along with other India-branding initiativeshave led to considerable viewership and outreach globally,especially in the neighboring countries. In addition, the Facebookpage ‘Indiandiplomacy’ has gathered more than 96,000 viewersand its You Tube page has received about a million hits. Ministry’ssocial media platforms have been very effective in reaching out tothe youth in India and overseas.

Social and Gender Empowerment

While the requirements of the recipient Government arerecognized and given precedence in executing projects abroad,


85

the Ministry is consciously trying to support projects that focuson empowerment of women and the socially weaker sections ofsociety. Under Technical and Economic Cooperationprogramme, India has launched a number of programmes inneighbouring countries and Africa such as setting up ofvocational training centres, building girls’ hostels, maternitycentres etc which benefit and empower women.

There are several other programmes in which women constitutea significant number of beneficiaries such as the housing projectfor Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Northern and Easternprovinces of Sri Lanka, distribution of Trishaws to war-affectedwidows in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, training of African womencandidates in vocational training centres, etc. A large number ofwomen candidates from various developing countries areprovided training in various courses under Ministry’s IndianTechnical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) and other trainingprogrammes.

Ministry has submitted its first ever Gender Budget Statementfor inclusion in the Union Budget 2013-14 and has now joinedthe club of Ministries / Departments of GOI reporting on GenderBudget. Ministry has also regularly participated in the Gender

Budget workshops conducted by Ministry of Women and ChildDevelopment (MWCD) which focuses on raising awareness ofgender budgeting issues.

Asset acquisition abroad

In pursuance of the previous recommendation of the Parliament’sStanding Committee on External Affairs, the Ministry hasconsistently endeavoured to purchase properties at variousstations and initiated action on construction of properties abroadfor chanceries and residences with a view to reduce the rentalliability of the Government. In 2012-13, India acquired propertiesfor Chanceries in Atlanta and Yerevan and a plot of land forconstruction of residential complex in Bangkok. Proposal foracquisition of property for Chancery/Cultural Centre in Kabuland plot of land for Chancery in Canberra are at advanced stageand are expected to be completed in the current financial year.Construction work is at advance stages in Abuja, Dhaka, Brasilia,Islamabad and Kathmandu while construction has started onthe Chancery-cum-residence project in Warsaw.

CHAPTER V - FINANCIAL REVIEW

The budget of the Ministry has both Plan and Non-Plan componentsthough the share of the Plan funds is comparatively small. ThePlan Budget of the Ministry is being allocated following a Cabinetdecision taken in 1996. A noteworthy feature of the total budget

has been its growth over the years, which is a reflection of thegrowing importance of India in global affairs and the increasingfunctions of the Ministry. Both Plan and Non Plan components haveseen an upward trend as can be seen from the table below:

Grand Total 9661.97 10062 11719

With high-level commitments made by India towards thedevelopment of the hydropower sector in Bhutan, construction ofKaladan Multimodal Transit Transport Project in Myanmar andNalanda University Project in Bihar, it has become imperative thata greater provision of Plan funds be allocated to the Ministry. A

higher allocation of funds at the BE stage itself would also helpthe Ministry in financial planning in advance. The request of theMinistry for Supplementary Grants at the RE stage have generallybeen accepted and to some extent, additional funds provided.


208

An important feature has been the higher utilization of the grant bythe Ministry both on the Revenue and Capital Accounts. This hasbeen the result of regular monitoring of projects and expenditure

by various Divisions of the Ministry. The table below shows theutilization pattern of the Budget on the basis of the funds allocatedat the Revised Estimates stage:

Trend of Allocation vis-a-vis Utilization The revenues earned by the Ministry have also been increasingsteadily. As part of Government’s efforts to enhance Non-Taxrevenue, the Ministry has revised passport fee w.e.f. October 1,2012 which has also helped in enhanced revenue generation. Thetrend of growing revenues of Ministry is clearly visible from thetable given below:

Several Missions/Posts abroad are able to generate substantialrevenue accruing from Consular services. These Missions do notrequire any foreign exchange remittances from India for meetingtheir approved budgeted expenses.

The Ministry has made efforts to reduce the cash holding byMissions/Posts abroad by undertaking monthly review of their cashbalances and determining the amount to be remitted accordingly.The Missions/Posts are required to send their Cash BalanceReports regularly to the Ministry for monitoring their cash holdings.Missions are strictly instructed not to hold cash reserves of morethan what is required for meeting their expected expenditure forsix weeks.

One of the important measures taken by the Ministry towardsfinancial management has been the implementation of theIntegrated Mission Accounting System (I-MAS) in its Missions/Posts abroad for accounting purposes. I-MAS has beenoperationalised in all the Missions and Posts. This software hasbrought all Missions/Posts on a common accounting platform andenabled timely incorporation of the monthly cash accounts of theMissions/Posts abroad into the monthly accounts of the Ministry.The Ministry aims to further improve the I-MAS software as perusers’ feedback received from time-to-time.

In order to fast-track the payments by the Ministry, electronicpayment system is being used. The Ministry is using ECS formaking all payments above ̀ . 5 lakh. Local payments of amountsless than ̀ . 5 lakh are being made through cheque while outstationpayments for this amount are being made by demand draft.

The Ministry has 1278 subscribers to the New Pension System(NPS) which has been made applicable to the entrants to theGovernment Service from January 2004. While there were teethingdifficulties in implementation of the NPS, the same has beenaddressed by the Office of the Principal Chief Controller ofAccounts through regular workshops to train the Drawing andDisbursing Officers (DDOs) and to address problems faced bythem in the implementation of NPS. As a result, the incidences ofnon-matching and booking of subscribers’ contribution in their NPSaccount have been significantly reduced. The monitoring of theworking of the NPS in the Ministry is being done at the level of theFinancial Advisor.

Trend of Receipts

The Ministry has been laying emphasis on the prompt settlementof its audit paras. A Standing Audit Committee (SAC) has beenset up to function as a nodal agency of the Ministry to monitor andreview the submission of Action Taken Notes (ATN) on Comptrollerand Auditor General’s (CAG) Audit Paras and Action TakenReports (ATR) on Public Accounts Committee’s (PAC)

recommendations and take appropriate measures. The SAC hasheld regular meetings and has been able to expedite the processof submission of pending ATNs to the Competent Authority. As of31 December 2012, the Ministry has 23 CAG paras pendingagainst it whereas no PAC para is pending.
