New Delhi: For the first time, the University Grants Commission (UGC) on Tuesday launched a comprehensive plan for its officials to build and enhance their abilities, efficiency, and qualifications to increase their capacity to serve the higher educational system in India.

UGC Chairman Prof. M. Jagadesh Kumar told The Indian Express that UGC is the first autonomous organisation to have initiated planning for the capacity building of their employees in collaboration with the Capacity Building Commission (CBC), which was established by the centre in 2021. He said the Annual Capacity Building Plan (ACBP) is a comprehensive plan outlining interventions essential for enhancing individual officials’ competencies and the overall capacity of UGC.

“..this plan is derived from a robust Capacity Need Assessment exercise done with UGC officials and staff over six months starting from March 2023,” he was quoted as saying.

Kumar launched the programme in the presence of Dr. R Balasubramanium, Member HR, Capacity Building Commission. So far, more than 600 UGC employees have been onboarded on the iGot Karmayogi platform by September 15, 2023.  In the first quarter – October to December 2023 – 630 UGC employees have completed more than 4,500 courses, each completing an average of seven courses.

The programme has been launched with the “idea to build, develop and enhance the abilities, talents, competencies, efficiency and qualifications of UGC employees to increase their capacity to serve the higher educational system in India,” Kumar told TIE.
