As part of the Centre’s ambitious Mission Karmayogi initiative, the Bihar government has enrolled over 2.4 lakh officials on an online training platform, according to the official announcement. Under the Mission Karmayogi initiative, an MoU was signed on October 7 between the Capacity Building Commission (CBC), Karmayogi Bharat (a special purpose vehicle), and the Bihar Institute of Public Administration and Rural Development (BIPARD).
This agreement aims to strengthen the capabilities of government officials and employees in Bihar so that all public servants can become role-based instead of rule-based, said the statement issued by the Personnel Ministry. This will be achieved through the iGOT (integrated government online training) Karmayogi platform, a flagship digital initiative to empower government servants. It will also function as a robust e-learning hub, the statement said.
The Bihar government officials actively participate in various online courses on the iGOT Karmayogi platform. So far, 20 MDO Admins have successfully registered, and 2,42,053 Karmayogis have been onboarded onto the iGOT platform. As a result, 31,368 course enrolments have been recorded. Notably, 23,724-course completions and certificate generations have been reported, reflecting strong engagement and commitment to enhancing professional skills among officials, the statement added.

The platform offers a diverse range of courses aimed at improving administrative and governance skills. To ensure inclusivity and accessibility, BIPARD has fully transcribed 25-course modules from the Mission Karmayogi platform into Hindi, with Hindi voice-overs and subtitles. This has significantly expanded the reach of these courses to a larger audience in Bihar and beyond.
The signing of this MoU represents the beginning of a long-term collaboration between the Capacity Building Commission, Karmayogi Bharat, and the Government of Bihar. This association will stimulate learning and skill development among Bihar’s civil personnel, improving public service delivery. The digital training programmes under the Mission Karmayogi project are consistent with the government’s objective to develop a more efficient, accountable, and skilled workforce, allowing for better governance and service delivery to Indian citizens.
