Mission Karmayogi strengthens capacity building of civil servants in Telangana
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 3, 2025, 16:16 IST The Mission Karmayogi team, comprising members of the Capacity Building Commission and Karmayogi Bharat, met with the Governor of Telangana, Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, and senior state officials to advance the mission's implementation in the state. On July 2, 2025, in Hyderabad, the team — led by Dr. Alka Mittal (Member – Administration, Capacity Building Commission), Ms. Navneet Kaur (Director, Capacity Building Commission), and Ms. Soumi Banerjee (General Manager, Karmayogi Bharat) — apprised the Governor of the progress of Mission Karmayogi and sought guidance on its further roll-out. The Governor expressed his support and encouraged the team to continue driving this transformative initiative. Earlier, the team held discussions with the Chief Secretary of Telangana, Shri K. Ramakrishna Rao, and senior department heads to outline the way forward. They presented an overview of Mission Karmayogi's vision to create a future-ready, citizen-centric civil service through digital and competency-based training. A key point of the meeting was the iGOT Karmayogi platform, which enables anytime-anywhere learning for civil servants across departments. Department heads highlighted the need for customized learning pathways suited to each department's priorities. An important outcome was the decision to onboard civil servants from multiple departments onto the iGOT platform, leveraging the state's training institutions in the process. This is expected to significantly enhance Telangana's capacity-building efforts. The Capacity Building Commission expressed gratitude to the Governor's Secretariat, the Chief Secretary, and the Telangana administration for their collaboration, reaffirming the shared commitment to strengthen governance through continuous learning under Mission Karmayogi.
