Prime Minister Narendra Modi has completed 25 years in public service, a journey defined by the mantra of Jan Seva Se Desh Seva, and a relentless commitment that continues. Guided by this vision for Seva and Sushasan, the Government has been ceaselessly working towards achieving the goal of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. Through inclusive development and social empowerment, this dedication is transforming lives. Today, in our special series, we bring you an instance of how this vision has been translated into action through the Mission Karamyogi.
Mission Karmayogi was launched in September 2020 envisioning a future-ready civil service rooted in Indian ethos, with a global perspective. Mission Karmayogi is aimed at strengthening the capacity and skills of government officials and making civil services more citizen-centric. The programme seeks to move civil services from a rules-based to a roles-based approach, with the objective of placing the right person in the right role at the right time. The iGot platform under Mission Karmayogi has over 1.70 crore registered users and it hosts over 6500 courses across domain, functional and behavioural competencies. The courses on the portal include more than 200 courses on AI and Emerging Technologies designed to equip government officials with essential digital knowledge and skills. Addressing an event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the government is providing training to government employees through under mission karmayogi. He said that the objective of this initiative is to make the government officials citizen-centric.
Talking to Akashvani News, Chairperson of Capacity Building Commission, S Radha Chauhan said that Mission Karmayogi was established with the vision of achieving the aspirational goals of a Viksit Bharat 2047 in a timely and high-quality manner to ensure the delivery of quality services to citizens.
All Central Government employees and officers of the All India Services (AIS) are required to complete prescribed courses on iGOT annually, which get captured in their Annual Performance Appraisal Reports. The Mission is expected to strengthen the skills of government officials, improve service delivery and enhance citizens’ experience in dealing with public authorities.
