The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has approvedlaunching of
a National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building (NPCSCB)with the following

(ii) Capacity Building Commission.
(iii) Special Purpose Vehicle for owning and operating the digital assets
andthe technological platform for online training,

Salient Features
NPCSCB has been carefully designed to lay the foundations for capacity building for Civil
Servants so that they remain entrenched in Indian Culture and sensibilities and remain connected,
with their roots, while they learn from the best institutions and practices across the world. The
Programme will be delivered by setting up an Integrated Government Online Training-
iGOTKarmayogiPlatform. The core guiding principles of the Programme will be:
1. Supporting Transition from 'Rules based' to 'Roles based* HR Management.Aligning work

allocation of civil servants by matching their competencies tothe requirements of the post.
2. To emphasize on 'on-site learning' to complement the ‘off-site’ learning,
3. To create an ecosystem of shared training infrastructure including that oflearning materials,
institutions and personnel,
4. To calibrate all Civil Service positions to a Framework of Roles, Activities and
Competencies (FRACs) approach and to create and deliver learningcontent relevant to the
identified FRACs in every Government entity,
5. To make available to all civil servants, an opportunity to continuously build and strengthen
their Behavioral, Functional and Domain Competencies intheir self-driven and mandated
learning paths.
6. 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 financialsubscription for every employee,
7. To encourage and partner with the best-in-class learning content creators including public
training institutions, universities, start-tips and individualexperts,
8. To undertake data analytics in respect of data emit 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.
Objectives
It is also proposed 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 role of Commission will be as under-
To assist the PM Public Human Resources Council in approving the Annual Capacity Building
Plans.
To exercise functional supervision over all Central Training Institutions dealing with civil services
capacity building.
To create shared learning resources, including internal and external faculty and resource centers.
To coordinate and supervise the implementation of the Capacity Building Plans with the
stakeholder Departments.
To make recommendations on standardization of training and capacity building, pedagogy and
methodology
To set norms for common mid-career training programs across all civil services.
To suggest policy interventions required in the areas of HR Management and Capacity Building to
the Government.
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.
Financial implications
To cover around 46 lakh Central employees, a sum of Rs.510.86 crore will be spent over a period
of 5 years from 2020-21 to 2024-25. The expenditure is partly funded by multilateral assistance to
the tune of USD 50 million. A wholly owned Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for NPCSCB will be
set up under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013. The SPV will be a "not-for-profit" company
and will own and manage iGOT-Karmayogiplatform. The SPV will create and operationalize the
content, market place and manage key business services ofiGOT-Karmayogiplatform, relating to
content validation, independent proctored assessments and telemetry data availability. The SPV
will own all Intellectual Property Rights on behalf of the Government of India. An appropriate
monitoring and evaluation framework will also be put in place for performance evaluation of
all users of the iGOT-Karmayogiplatform so as to generate a dashboard view of Key
Performance Indicators.
Background
Capacity of Civil Services plays a vital role in rendering a wide variety of services, implementing
welfare programs and performing core governance functions. A transformational change in Civil
Service Capacity is proposed to be affectedby 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.
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 Hon'ble Prime Minister will serve as the apex body for providing
strategic direction to the task of Civil Services Reform and capacity building.
