iGOT Karmayogi marks 30-fold growth, crosses 1 Cr registered civil servants

Dr. Jitendra Singh reveals iGOT Karmayogi's massive growth, crossing 1 crore registered civil servants with 30-fold user expansion

"This rapid scale-up underlines the growing digital adoption in public administration - Dr. Jitendra Singh"

New Delhi, May 21

Mission Karmayogi, the National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building, has achieved a major milestone with the iGOT Karmayogi portal crossing one crore registered civil servants across India, said Dr. Jitendra Singh, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) of the Ministry of Science and Technology on Wednesday.

The Integrated Government Online Training (iGOT) Karmayogi platform is a digital learning platform operated and managed by Karmayogi Bharathas, aimed at providing a comprehensive learning ecosystem accessible to civil servants across India.

Launched in 2022, the iGOT platform marked a 30-fold growth from 3 lakh users onboarded till January 2023, in over 2 years.

"This rapid scale-up underlines the growing digital adoption in public administration and reaffirms the Centre's commitment to building a future-ready and citizen-centric civil service," Singh said.

The MoS attributed the success of the portal to active participation of both central and state/UT civil servants.

Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh are the states with relatively higher number of registered civil servants on the platform.

Over 60 per cent of the registered users on iGOT Karmayogi platform are from all 36 States/UTs. The remaining are from central government ministries, departments and organisations.

"This demonstrates pan-India outreach of the platform and growing integration with state-level governance frameworks," Singh said.

"So far, more than 3.1 crore learning certificates have been issued to civil servants based on course completion which aggregates to more than 3.8 crore learning hours," Singh said.

Currently, iGOT Karmayogi platform offers over 2,400 courses in 16 languages contributed by more than 200 course providers including Central and State Government Ministries and Departments, Civil Services Training Institutes (CSTIs), Civil Society Organisations, philanthropic bodies, premier Indian academic institutions, and private industry experts.

All courses are aligned with the indigenously developed Karmayogi Competency Model (KCM) -- rooted in Indic wisdom and the tenets of Mission Karmayogi.

Singh said that Karmayogi platform aims "to increase the number of courses in regional languages, improve course quality, partner with more content providers, and improve the user experience using AI and other technologies" in the near future.

This is a great initiative! Our civil servants need continuous learning to serve citizens better. The regional language courses will be especially helpful for grassroots workers. Hope this translates to better governance at local levels. 👍

Impressive numbers, but I wonder about the actual impact. Does completing these courses make officials more efficient? My experience at the municipal office last week was still frustrating. Maybe they need courses on public dealing skills!

Good to see Bihar and UP among top users - states that need administrative reforms the most. Hope this leads to visible changes in service delivery. The 16 language option is a thoughtful touch for our diverse nation.

As someone who works in edtech, I'm impressed by the scale achieved! 3.8 crore learning hours is no joke. Would love to know more about the course quality and assessment methods. Maybe private sector can learn from this model too.

Digital India in action! But government must ensure this isn't just another box-ticking exercise. Real test will be whether citizens notice improved services. Also, hope they include courses on emerging tech like AI for future readiness.

The 'Indic wisdom' angle is interesting. Would love to see how traditional Indian knowledge systems are being incorporated into modern governance training. Maybe this can reduce colonial mindset in bureaucracy over time.
