Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the National Learning Week, or "Karmayogi Saptah," at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre in New Delhi on Saturday. This can be seen as a major step towards improving the capabilities of the civil service employees.
The initiative seeks to improve public servants through continuous learning. The objective of this program is in accordance with the goal of a developed India by 2047.
What is Karmayogi Saptah?
Mission Karmayogi, launched in September 2020, aims to build a future-ready public service that blends global thinking with Indian values. National Learning Week (NLW), the biggest event of its kind, will help boost the skills of civil servants, both personally and professionally. This program encourages lifelong learning, promotes unity across the government, and aligns everyone with national goals for growth and development.
Aim of Mission Karmayogi
In his speech during the event, Prime Minister Modi stressed the value of creative problem-solving and a citizen-centered form of government. He outlined the advancements made possible by Mission Karmayogi, which aims to provide a workforce with the necessary skills that will accelerate the country's development.
Artificial Intelligence for Aspirational India
Prime Minister Modi highlighted both the opportunities and challenges that Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings to India. He encouraged using AI to drive progress in "Aspirational India," saying that smart use of technology can lead to significant positive change. During National Learning Week, he also urged government employees to learn about AI and its potential benefits.
What will Happen During National Learning Week?
The goal of National Learning Week (NLW) is to encourage learning through participation from individuals and government bodies like Ministries, Departments, and Organizations. Every public servant or government employee, who is referred to as Karmayogi here, is expected to complete at least four hours of learning during the week. This can be done either by taking role-based courses on iGOT or attending webinars, which will include public lectures and policy masterclasses led by experts.
With over 4 million government employees registered and 1.5 crore certifications granted over more than 1,400 courses, the iGOT platform, which is a part of Mission Karmayogi, has witnessed significant engagement.
