A foundation course in administration at the IAS training institute in Mussoorie or even subsequent career development courses may not be sufficient for bureaucrats in Bengal.

In a flash of inspiration, chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday suggested that they get hands-on experience in Singapore for its seamless, quick and delivery-oriented public management.

Mamata's inspiration is not without reason — for seven consecutive years World Bank had ranked Singapore first globally for ease of doing business.

The island town has impressed Mamata with its perseverance and discipline. "Singapore is a beautiful country and so disciplined. All the boys and girls are soft spoken, sober, and equally hard working. This is something one should learn from them."

Mamata wants to emulate the work culture that has attracted all top global brands to Singapore. She has even asked West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC) to set up a nodal office in Singapore to attract investment to Bengal.
