Indian Portal on Networking Premier Training Institutes is inaugurated by Shri B. K. Chaturvedi, Cabinet Secretary, here today. This is a website specifically developed as a portal for the 21 Training Institutes of the country that will function as the virtual regional chapter of Commonwealth Association for Public Administration and Management(CAPAM). CAPAM is an organization dedicated to strengthening public management and consolidating democracy and good governance throughout the Commonwealth. This portal, through its link with CAPAM, would be able to access expertise of the other national and regional networks of training institutes in the Commonwealth.
The Portal is a meeting point for all those who are interested in exploring the capabilities and training services provided by these institutions. One can access the portal with simply typing- www.trgnetindia.gov.in. The home page of the Network has hyper links to all the 21 Institutions, their core competencies, their training programmes, contact persons, their phone numbers, etc.
Inaugurating the portal, Shri Chaturvedi underlined the core issues facing the bureaucracy today, especially with the changing times. The Cabinet Secretary emphasized that the perspective should also change for the civil servants. A rule of law, welfare activities are not enough – what is needed more is ` a friendly administration’, Shri Chaturvedi added. He also stressed upon the need of having an `efficient judicial system’ which in turn would eventually lead to `good governance’. He made a special mention of implementing probity in civil service.
The portal was launched as a part of two-day High Level Seminar of CAPAM on October 4-5, 2005 in the Capital. Delegates from 27 member States of the Commonwealth attended the Seminar.
A host of issues like methods of delivering training courses; methodologies for designing different models; exploring avenues to integrate class - room learning with e – learning; facilitating the exercise of sharing of experiences, sharing of best practices and capitalizing on the strengths of networked institutions; forging partnerships; joint ventures and cooperation for exchange of experiences and investing in leadership training for senior executive level were deliberated upon during the Seminar.
