NCGG conducts capacity building programme for civil servants
View(s):The first training and capacity building programme under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the National Centre for Good Governance of India (NCGG) and Sri Lanka Institute of Development Administration (SLIDA) for 1,500 Lankan civil service officers over a period of five years, was held recently.
The programme was held at NCGG from April 21 to May 2, and attended by 41 officers.
Based on a request of the Government of Sri Lanka, the theme of the programme was ‘digitisation in governance’. The programme featured a series of sessions focused on key areas such as digital service delivery, digital public infrastructure, financial inclusion through digital payments, and innovations in public grievance redress systems.
Senior officials and domain experts delivered presentations on flagship Indian initiatives in the digital domain, including Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, e-Office, GeM, Aadhaar, PM Gati Shakti, among others.
At an interactive session with participants in the inaugural programme organised on May 8 at SLIDA, the High Commissioner of India to
Sri Lanka Santosh Jha underscored that capacity building is an important pillar of the development cooperation between the two countries, with Sri Lanka being among the largest recipients of scholarships and capacity building initiatives offered by India.
He pointed out that, demonstrating India’s continued commitment to enhancing capacity-building opportunities for Lankans, the Indian Prime Minister had announced additional training avenues to 700 Lankan citizens annually during his recent state visit. The High Commissioner said participants of the first NCGG-SLIDA programme also represented the first set of Lankan nationals to receive training as part of the capacity-building endeavour of India that will now benefit 1,000 Lankans annually.
