NEW DELHI: Union Minister, Dr Jitendra Singh on Tuesday called for “competency based” capacity building for Civil Servants.
Addressing a workshop by the Capacity Building Commission (CBC) at Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) here, Dr Jitendra said, Capacity Building is a continuous exercise and the decision to have a CBC in the Government by itself is a step in the direction of Capacity Building process.
The Union Minister said, this is in line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for building a Viksit Bharat. The National Standards for Civil Service Training Institutions (NSCSTI) framework is aligned with Mission Karmayogi, ensuring that training institutions adopt a unified and standardized approach to enhance the skills and capabilities of civil servants, fostering a more effective and accountable administration. The NSCSTI platform and its 8 pillars of excellence were launched and published on 18 July 2022.
On the occasion, Dr Jitendra Singh released the six Sub-Committee Reports related to Mission Karmayogi for nurturing a smart, citizen-friendly and future-ready public workforce.
The workshop will help institutes understand the accreditation process and facilitate efficient accreditation.
These workshops also provide opportunities for CSTIs to collaborate and network among civil servants from different services and areas, enabling them to come together, exchange ideas, and build networks.
Mission Karmayogi is a government initiative designed to modernize the civil service in India by emphasizing competency-based learning and capacity building. It aims to transform the bureaucratic system into a more agile and result-driven entity.
