Mission Karmayogi, launched in 2020, is a national programme for civil services capacity building (NPCSCB). It marks a shift from rule-based to role-based HR management in the bureaucracy and aims to develop ‘citizen-centric, future-ready civil servants’. It reflects the ethical imperative of self-improvement and public service.

Empowering Civil Servants for Productive Efficiency

• Competency-Driven Approach: Training is customized based on roles, skills, and gaps for improving individual efficiency.

• Tech-Enabled Governance: Encourages use of digital tools in administration, boosting transparency and speed.

Improving Service Delivery at the Grassroots

• Enhanced Last-Mile Delivery:

  • Better understanding of welfare schemes and community needs.
  • Efficient grievance redressal by reducing bureaucratic delays.

• Ethical and Responsive Administration:

  • Integration of public service ethics in training strengthens citizen trust and conduct standards.
  • Promotes probity and non-discrimination in rural and vulnerable populations.

• Localized and Contextual Learning: Custom modules for officers in backward, remote, or disaster-prone areas (e.g., Aspirational Districts).

• Decentralized Decision-Making: Encourages innovation and autonomy in field-level officers, improving adaptive governance.

• Accountability and Feedback Culture: 360-degree performance assessment fosters ownership and feedback-based improvement.

Mission Karmayogi is not merely a training initiative—it is an ethical reform of the civil service mindset. By building inner capacity, professional competence, and moral character, it transforms officers into effective and ethical enablers of grassroots governance.
