Answer 2

Mission Karmayogi is a National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building (NPCSCB), which aims to upgrade the post-recruitment training mechanism of the officers and employees at all levels.

The key elements of the programme are as follows :-

• Supporting Transition from 'Rules based' to 'Roles based’ HR Management. Aligning work allocation of civil servants by matching their competencies to the requirements of the post.

• To emphasize on 'on-site learning' to complement the 'off-site' learning,

• To calibrate all Civil Service positions to a Framework of Roles, Activities and Competencies (FRACs) approach and to create and deliver learning content relevant to the identified FRACs in every Government entity.

• To make available to all civil servants, an opportunity to continuously build and strengthen their Behavioural, Functional and Domain Competencies in their self-driven and mandated learning paths.

• To enable all the Central Ministries and Departments and their Organizations to directly invest their resources towards co-creation and sharing the collaborative and common ecosystem of learning through an annual financial subscription for every employee,

• To encourage and partner with the best-in-class learning content creators including public training institutions, universities, start-tips and individual experts,

• To undertake data analytics in respect of data provided by iGOT- Karmayogi pertaining to various aspects of capacity building, content creation, user feedback and mapping of competencies and identify areas for policy reforms.

• A Public Human Resources Council comprising of select Union Ministers, Chief Ministers, eminent public HR practitioners, thinkers, global thought leaders and Public Service functionaries under the Chairmanship of Prime Minister of India will serve as the apex body for providing strategic direction to the task of Civil Services Reform and capacity building.

Its role in holistic development of human resources and state’s capacity :-

• The mission proposes to set up a Capacity Building Commission, with a view to ensure a uniform approach in managing and regulating the capacity building ecosystem on collaborative and co-sharing basis.

• The iGOT-Karmayogi platform brings the scale and state-of-the-art infrastructure to augment the capacities of over two crore officials in India. The platform is expected to evolve into a vibrant and world-class market place for content where carefully curated and vetted digital e-learning material will be made available.

• Besides capacity building, service matters like confirmation after probation period, deployment, work assignment and notification of vacancies etc. would eventually be integrated with the proposed competency framework.

• Mission Karmayogi aims to prepare the Indian civil servant for the future by making him more creative, constructive, imaginative, innovative, proactive, professional, progressive, energetic, enabling, transparent and technology-enabled.

• Empowered with specific role-competencies, the civil servant will be able to ensure efficient service delivery of the highest quality standards.

• A transformational change in Civil Service Capacity is proposed by organically linking the transformation of work culture, strengthening public institutions and adopting modern technology to build civil service capacity with the overall aim of ensuring efficient delivery of services to citizens.

The centralised institutional architecture of the proposed reform must be balanced by an understanding of the contexts and needs of diverse workers and learners. A framework for credible assessment with total transparency should be developed to link training and incentives successfully. Training must be supplemented with shared vision development, purposeful work and the empowerment of employees to improve organizational culture.
