New Delhi, April 2, 2026: The Government of India has launched Karmayogi Sadhana Saptah, a nationwide initiative under Mission Karmayogi aimed at enhancing the capacity, efficiency and citizen focused approach of public servants across the country.
The programme, being conducted from April 2 to April 8, was inaugurated at the Dr Ambedkar International Centre, marking five years of Mission Karmayogi. It brings together ministries, state governments and civil services training institutions under a unified framework for capacity building.
In a message, the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi emphasized the need for governance systems to evolve with changing global dynamics. He highlighted the importance of continuous learning, use of technology and a citizen first approach aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Dr P K Mishra underlined that the initiative reflects a shift from rule based to role based governance, where competencies, behaviour and service orientation are central. He noted that modern governance requires adaptability to challenges such as technological disruption, climate change and urbanisation.
Chairperson of the Capacity Building Commission S Radha Chauhan described the initiative as a milestone in strengthening public service delivery. She highlighted that Mission Karmayogi integrates knowledge, skills and values to build a responsive and empathetic civil service.
Secretary of the Department of Personnel and Training Rachna Shah said that over 1.5 crore learners have registered on the iGOT platform, with more than 8 crore course completions. She added that the platform offers thousands of courses in multiple languages and supports continuous competency based learning.
Chairperson of Karmayogi Bharat Subramanian Ramadorai highlighted the growing role of digital ecosystems in governance training. He encouraged officials to build capabilities in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence to meet evolving administrative demands.
Member Administration of the Capacity Building Commission Dr Alka Mittal noted that capacity building initiatives are being extended to grassroots functionaries, including those in rural and urban local bodies, to improve service delivery at the last mile.
Member Human Resources of the Capacity Building Commission Dr R Balasubramaniam stated that Mission Karmayogi has evolved into one of the largest governance transformation programmes globally, creating a unified competency framework across government systems.
Several key initiatives were also launched during the event, including Karmayogi Geet to promote values of integrity and service, Karmayogi Kshamata Connect for frontline training, and Karmayogi Kartavya Karyakram aimed at fostering a culture of accountability and responsiveness among public servants.
An AI driven case study suite was also introduced to enhance practical learning and integrate real world governance scenarios into training modules, further strengthening outcome oriented capacity building.
Mission Karmayogi represents a structural shift in governance, moving from traditional rule based systems to a competency driven framework that integrates knowledge, skills and behaviour.
The initiative is expected to accelerate the development of a skilled, adaptive and citizen centric civil service, supporting India’s long term vision of inclusive growth and effective governance.
The inaugural session witnessed participation from senior officials, representatives from various ministries, states and training institutions, reflecting a collaborative approach towards strengthening governance across the country.
