Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States
Centre for Effective Governance of Indian States
CEGIS was born five years ago when my
interest in state finances was growing, and
Karthik Muralidharan—whose work and
dedication I have admired for many years—was
conceptualising an institution to help improve
government effectiveness across Indian states.
We both recognised that the government(s) is
the main actor when it comes to addressing
India’s growth and development challenges
at the population-level, and wanted to work
towards making this happen: this shared
vision of strengthening state capacity for
outsized impact led us to co-found CEGIS. The
importance of effective governance and state
capacity also underscores a lot of my other
initiatives at The Convergence Foundation
(TCF), which was founded in 2021 with the aim
of accelerating India’s economic growth and
development on a sustained inclusive basis.
CEGIS is now a part of TCF’s portfolio (which
includes 15+ other organisations that focus on
different socio-economic challenges).
CEGIS has witnessed rapid growth since its
inception. From being in one state (Telangana)
in 2019, we are now in five states/sub-states:
Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), Delhi,
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Telangana. We
are supporting the state governments through
several projects like: conducting the flagship
Key Performance Indicator (KPI) survey and
designing and instituting processes for staff
performance measurement and management
with the Panchayati Raj and Rural Development
Department in Telangana; Early Childhood
Development (ECD) Mission in BTR, Tamil
Nadu and Telangana; Revenue augmentation
project with the Government of National Capital
Territory of Delhi (GoNCTD).
I am deeply grateful for the trust that
government ofÏcials have placed in our team.
CEGIS is committed to supporting them with
valuable knowledge, insights, and practical
roadmaps to enhance capacity and create
scalable impact. I must also thank our advisory
board members for their strategic direction in
this endeavour.
As the organisation has scaled, it has become
essential to establish robust systems and
processes in Human Resources (HR), technology,
donor management and engagement. Today,
CEGIS boasts a balanced leadership team with
expertise in governance, management and
social impact. We are focused on building
organisational processes, ensuring quality control
and managing knowledge effectively.
