In the meeting, Minister for Federal Affairs and General Administration Raj Kumar Gupta presented the bill to the House for passage.

Responding to questions raised during the discussion on the bill, Minister Gupta said that the act has made efforts to ensure career development of federal civil service employees and to make the performance evaluation of employees objective.
