Capacity Building Commission: Driving Mission Karmayogi
The Capacity Building Commission was constituted by the Government of India on 1st April 2021 as part of the larger Mission Karmayogi initiative. Its primary mandate is to ensure standardisation, harmonisation, and coordination across India’s civil service capacity-building efforts.
As the custodian of capacity-building reforms, the Commission plays a pivotal role in shaping a competency-driven, digitally-enabled, and citizen-centric bureaucracy.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Chauhan, the Commission is expected to accelerate the adoption of digital learning platforms, enhance collaboration among training institutions, and ensure data-driven policy implementation across departments.
A Vision Aligned with National Priorities
Mrs. Chauhan’s appointment comes at a significant juncture, especially after the recent expansion of Mission Karmayogi to the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir. The move symbolises a broader commitment to inclusive and modern governance nationwide.
With her vision and administrative acumen, the new Chairperson is expected to infuse fresh momentum into CBC’s efforts, aligning them with the Government’s goal of transforming India’s public administration landscape.
