New Delhi: The central government of India has introduced a new collection of courses called “Dakshta” on the iGOT Karmayogi Platform. This platform, known as the Integrated Government Online Training (iGOT) Karmayogi platform, is a comprehensive portal designed to guide government officials in their capacity-building journey.
The Dakshta collection comprises 18 courses aimed at equipping learners with essential knowledge and skills necessary for effectively fulfilling their duties and responsibilities. The courses focus on various areas, including data-driven decision-making, a code of conduct for government employees, office procedures, effective communication, public policy research, stress management, and more.
Currently, 40 young professionals and consultants from the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) are undergoing phased induction training using the curated collection of courses available on the iGOT Karmayogi Platform.
The courses included in the Dakshta collection are provided by renowned institutions and organizations, such as the Wadhwani Foundation, Institute of Secretariat Training and Management (ISTM), Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga (MDNIY), Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIM-B), Microsoft, and others.
The mission behind this initiative aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of developing a “Viksit Bharat” (developed India). The National Programme for civil services capacity building, known as Mission Karmayogi, plays a crucial role in nurturing a smart, citizen-friendly, and future-ready public workforce.
To achieve the core objectives of Mission Karmayogi, Karmayogi Bharat, a government-owned not-for-profit special purpose vehicle, has been established by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT). Karmayogi Bharat is entrusted with the responsibility of owning, managing, maintaining, and improving the iGOT Karmayogi platform.
