New Delhi: Nagaland has won the prestigious United Nations' Public Service Award for bolstering community participation in basic services like school, hospitals, water supply and tourism.<!--more-->

The idea was conceptualised and implemented by the then Chief Secretary of the Nagaland RS Pandey during 2002-04. The introduction of the programme led to a marked enhancement in the delivery system in the rural zones.

Instead of privatising the basic services in the state, the Chief Secretary opted for communitising them in view of the high community spirits of the Naga people.

Pandey who is currently the secretary in the Steel Ministry will receive the award at a function on June 23 in New York. Nagaland happens to be the only winner in the Asia Pacific zone.

This particular UN award is among the 12 awards chosen internationally in varied sphere of public services.
