The Gopabandhu Academy of Administration (GAA), located in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, plays a pivotal role in training and development of government officials. GAA has long been a repository of knowledge and expertise, drawing from the senior-most levels of the Odisha Administrative Service, Finance Service, and Education Service. Its network extends to serving and retired civil servants, academics, NGOs, and professionals from various fields.
As the dynamics of public administration continue to evolve in the digital era, there is a pressing need for GAA to adapt its training methodologies to cater to the diverse needs of government officials efficiently. OKCL designed a comprehensive training transformation plan that aimed at harnessing modern technology, enhancing accessibility, and ensuring scalability.
OKCL’s comprehensive course portfolio includes plethora of skill-enhancing opportunities. The training program covers a spectrum of essential skills, including Basic IT Skills, Internet and Email proficiency, mastery of MS Office applications, Cyber Security Skills, adeptness in Digital Communication and Collaboration, Smartphone proficiency, handling Online Forms and Applications, competence in Online Education and E-learning, understanding Social Media and Digital Citizenship, Smart Typing Skills, Digital Skills for Daily Life, 21st Century Study Skills, Digital India Skills, awareness of Ergonomics, adopting Green practices, and practicing Netiquettes.
The objective is to seamlessly integrate these programmes into the Government Administrative Academy’s (GAA) customized LMS portal, enabling government officials to learn online and access tailored skill-upgradation programs designed to enhance their professional capabilities. Upon successful course completion, Odisha State Open University (OSOU), Sambalpur, will conduct proficiency tests and provide certification. After Certification, Government may reimburse the course fee directly to the learner.
Induction Training Programme for Basic IT Skill was delivered to 127 Odisha Administrative Service (OAS) Probationers (DR) at GAA.
