What is Chief Ministerâs Good Governance
Associates Programme?
The Chief Minister's Good Governance Associates (CMGGA 2.0) is a flagship fellowship programme of Government of Haryana. It is designed to harness the potential of young professionals in strengthening governance and improving service delivery at the grassroots. Initiated in 2016, followed by eight cohorts, the programme is pioneering as one of the best experiential learning models in governance fellowships.
Each year, âGood Governance Associatesâ are selected through a rigorous national process and placed across all 23 districts of Haryana. They work directly with the district administration and in coordination with the Chief Ministerâs Office, enabling rapid translation of policy priorities into on-ground action. Their role combines field immersion, problem-solving, and innovation in governance, ensuring last-mile service-delivery of flagship schemes of the government and citizen-centric outcomes in areas such as education, healthcare, women and child development, skill development, employment, digital governance, and infrastructure.

Hear from our leadership
I am excited to continue CMGGA programme, built on a strong foundation by former Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar Ji. While working with our young associates over many years, we have seen innovation and digital transformation in services and citizen delivery. I look forward to connect with the people of Haryana through Associates for a positive social impact on grassroots governance, policy execution, and monitoring alongside ensuring
last mile connectivity of government services.
CMGGA as a platform was born out of a nascent idea backed by a strong will to usher in Good Governance (Sushashan) in the state. Regular personal interactions with all the batches in the last four years has helped us gauge new ideas across various domains. As a result of these efforts, combined with consistent rigour of the departments across districts, Haryana has attained landmark milestones in e-governance, service-scheme delivery, geo-governance and the education sector. Our vision of minimum government maximum governance has been fast-tracked with the support of CMGGAs and we will continue to work for the people of Haryana with a renewed charge in the future.'
Having worked with CMGGAs across various districts, I can say it has made us more productive and help strategize better to deal with social issues. I believe the programmes offers a two way benefit, one being to the district administration to think differently, and also to these young professionals who want to work in the area of public policy and governance. I don't think any other programme offers such a steep learning curve as the CMGGA programme.
CMGGA programme enables young professionals to work with government to bring measurable change across Haryana. We support this programme through our Framework to Fieldwork approach that connects policy planning with grass-root implementation. This fosters effective governance through meaningful stakeholder interaction at every level.
At Rishihood University, we believe leadership is about creating impact at scale. The CMGGA program, in collaboration with Global Village Foundation, is a powerful example of experiential learning where young professionals engage directly with governance and emerge as catalysts for change.
CMGGA is an unparalleled opportunity for young professionals to dive into the thick of things. The program is an inspiring example of how society and the system can work together for a Viksit Bharat.
CMGGA is a platform for good governance where intent turns into real outcomes and young professionals get to make a lasting difference. It strengthens public systems by bringing accountability and practical solutions into everyday service delivery. GVF is proud to walk this path as a lead implementation partner
