Mission Karmayogi: National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building launched
September 2020
Mission Karmayogi represents a paradigm shift in civil services training and capacity building, directly impacting All India Services officers. The mission aims to create a future-ready civil service by transforming the capacity building ecosystem through technology-enabled learning platforms, competency-based training, and continuous skill development. For All India Services, this initiative introduces role-based learning, behavioral competencies assessment, and 360-degree feedback mechanisms. The mission establishes the Institute of Governance and Public Policy (iGOT) as a digital learning platform offering courses tailored to different career stages and functional requirements. This transformation addresses long-standing concerns about the relevance and effectiveness of traditional training methods in preparing officers for contemporary governance challenges.
UPSC Angle: Expected questions on civil service reforms, capacity building initiatives, and modernization of training infrastructure. Likely to appear in questions linking technology with governance and administrative efficiency.
