The **Performance Management Division**, [Cabinet Secretariat](/source/Cabinet_Secretariat_of_India) was set up by the Government of India in January 2009.[1] The Division was established with a view to assess the effectiveness of Government Departments in their mandated functions. Reporting to the [Cabinet Secretary](/source/Cabinet_Secretary_(India)), Dr Prajapati Trivedi was made the first secretary,[2] Performance Management[3][4] with a mandate to roll out the PMES. In the year 2013 (fourth year of implementation) the system extends to 80 Departments/Ministries with around 800 responsibility centres (autonomous organizations / subordinate offices/ attached offices).[5]

## Background

In the Joint Session of Parliament held on 4 June 2009, the then President of India [Pratibha Devisingh Patil](/source/Pratibha_Devisingh_Patil) had outlined 13 important measures to be initiated by the Government of India in the next hundred days.[6] ‘’Establishing Mechanism for performance monitoring and performance evaluation in Government on a regular basis ‘’ was one of the measures to be initiated by the Government. This was followed by the approval of an outline of a Performance Monitoring and Evaluation System (PMES) for Government Departments by the Prime Minister on September 11, 2009.[7]

## Working

The PMES system was established with a view to assess the effectiveness of Government Departments in their mandated functions which involves the preparation of a Results Framework Document (RFD) by each department every year,[8][9][10] highlighting its objectives and priorities for the financial year against pre specified targets at the end of the year.

## RFD(Results Framework Document)

A Results-Framework Document (RFD) is a PMES tool, documenting a record of understanding between a Minister representing the people's mandate, and the Secretary of a department responsible for implementing this mandate.[11][12][13] In its fifth round of implementation, i.e. 2013, the division has made public five compendiums having RFDs of different Departments/Ministries

- RFD compendium 2013-14[14]
- RFD compendium 2012-13[15]
- RFD compendium 2011-12[16]
- RFD compendium 2010-11[17]
- RFD compendium 2009-10[18]
