Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Sunday inaugurate the first-ever National Training Conclave to strengthen the civil services across the country to improve the process of governance, according to an official statement issued today.

PM Modi will address the conclave at the International Exhibition and Convention Centre Pragati Maidan in New Delhi in the morning.

The Prime Minister has been a strong proponent of improving the governance process and policy implementation in the country through capacity building of the civil service. Guided by this vision, the National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building (NPCSCB) – ‘Mission Karmayogi’ was launched to prepare a future-ready civil service with the right attitude, skills and knowledge. This Conclave is yet another step in this direction.

The National Training Conclave is being hosted by Capacity Building Commission with an objective to foster collaboration among civil services training institutes and strengthen the training infrastructure for civil servants nationwide.

More than 1500 representatives from training institutes, including Central Training Institutes, State Administrative Training Institutes, Regional and  Zonal Training Institutes, and Research institutes will participate in the conclave. Civil Servants from central government departments, state governments, local governments, as well as experts from the private sector will take part in the deliberations.

This diverse gathering is expected to foster an exchange of ideas, identify the challenges being faced and opportunities available, and generate actionable solutions and comprehensive strategies for capacity building.

The conclave will have eight panel discussions, each focusing on key concerns pertinent to Civil services training institutes such as faculty development, training impact assessment and content digitization, among others.
