7.16 Karmayogi Guidelines, 2023
To equip the civil services with the right attitudes, skills, knowledge and competencies aligned to
the demands and expectations of a rapidly growing economy and its aspirational citizens,
Government of India launched the National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building
(NPCSCB) - Mission Karmayogi. The Mission aims at developing a citizen-centric and future-
ready civil service and through democratized and competency-led capacity building, which
encompasses in its scope a mandate that unifies the efforts of structured, formal and service-based
training through Civil Service Training Institutions (CSTIs) with the on-demand digital training
through iGOT- Karmayogi platform.
It is envisaged that the institutional training interventions in 'complementarity with online
capacity building interventions on iGOT would facilitate the overall objective of shift from rule-
based system to a role-based Human Resource Management in Government. The National
Training approach, therefore, has to harmoniously blend and realign the role of various CSTIs so
as to fully complement the efforts of other pillars of Mission Karmayogi.
To bring more clarity to the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in the training and
capacity building landscape, including that of the institutions established under the Mission
Karmayogi, namely, the Capacity Building Commission and the Karmayogi Bharat SPV.
Therefore, “Karmayogi Guidelines, 2023” were issued vide OM No. No. T-16017/6/2023-TFA
dated 28th July, 2023. All the Ministries / Departments, including CSTIs and other organizations
functioning under their administrative control, were requested to comply with the guidelines. In
so far as the State Governments are concerned, it the guidelines recommend formulation of
comprehensive guidelines for training and capacity building of their employees, in consonance
with these guidelines, to enable achievement of citizen-centricity and effective public service
delivery. These guidelines can be accessed at
