Centre embarks on major reform drive in bureaucracy and civil services

The exercise is aimed at making the government employees more "creative, proactive, professional and technology-enabled", ending the culture of working in silos

The Modi government has embarked upon a major reform drive in the bureaucracy and civil services with creation of Capacity Building Commission (CBC) set up under the ambitious project National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building (NPCSCB), also known as “Mission Karmayogi” which was approved by the union cabinet last September. The Commission will play a central role in coordination and supervision of all the government offices, training institutes to monitor and evaluate the implementation of plans and create shared resources. Additionally, it will also assist the Prime Minister's Public Human Resources Council in approving the annual capacity building plans and will make recommendations on the standardisation of training and capacity building, pedagogy and methodology besides suggesting policy interventions required in the areas of human resources management and capacity building of civil services at all levels in the government.
