Agartala, April 6: The Directorate of Information Technology (DIT), Government of Tripura, has launched Sadhana Saptah 2026 as part of the Centre’s flagship Mission Karmayogi. The week-long programme runs from April 2 to April 8 and focuses on strengthening administrative efficiency through continuous learning.
The initiative was inaugurated at the Smart Training Centre in Agartala by Chief Secretary Jitendra Kumar Sinha. Several officials and staff members of the department attended the event.
During his address, the Chief Secretary highlighted the need for constant skill development in governance. He said civil servants must adapt to rapidly evolving technologies. He also stressed the responsible use of digital tools, including Artificial Intelligence, while ensuring data security and transparency. Moreover, he noted that Mission Karmayogi plays a key role in building a responsive and future-ready administration.
Meanwhile, Special Secretary of the OBC Welfare Department, Kuntal Das, underlined the importance of the initiative. She appreciated the active participation of DIT in promoting capacity building under the national programme.
In addition, DIT Director Jeya Ragul Geshan B stated that the programme encourages continuous learning among government officials. He pointed out that the iGOT Karmayogi platform enables flexible and role-based training. He also informed that the department has achieved 100 percent onboarding on the platform, ensuring wider participation.
As part of the observance, the department has organised several workshops, webinars, and seminars. These include sessions on the secure use of AI tools in official communication, project and bid management, and improved financial workflows in government systems.
Furthermore, all officials have been encouraged to complete at least four hours of learning through guided and self-paced modules during the week.
The programme is part of the National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building. It aims to foster a culture of continuous professional development and improve governance outcomes.
Through these efforts, the Directorate seeks to enhance technical, managerial, and functional capabilities. Ultimately, the initiative is expected to improve service delivery and promote efficient, transparent governance in the state.
What is Sadhana Saptah 2026?
In a first-of-its-kind move, the Capacity Building Commission will launch Sadhana Saptah 2026 from April 2 to April 8. The initiative marks one of the largest collaborative capacity-building exercises across India’s civil services.
Sadhana Saptah, which stands for Strengthening Adaptive Development and Humane Aptitude for National Advancement, aims to transform governance through skill development. It will bring together Central Ministries, Departments and Organisations, along with States and Union Territories. In addition, more than 250 Civil Services Training Institutions will join the effort.
Moreover, civil servants across the country will take part in structured training programmes. These programmes will focus on building competencies needed to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
Importantly, the initiative seeks to unify capacity-building efforts nationwide. For the first time, ministries, states, and training institutions will follow a common thematic framework. Earlier, such efforts remained limited to individual departments. However, Sadhana Saptah expands the scope and creates a nationwide learning movement.
Meanwhile, officials from all levels will participate in the programme. This includes early-career officers as well as senior leadership. They will engage with shared themes aimed at promoting responsive and citizen-centric governance.
The week-long programme will follow three core principles—Technology, Tradition, and Tangible Outcomes.
Accordingly, various learning activities have been planned. These include webinars, workshops, and Samuhik Charcha sessions. Additionally, curated courses will be available on the iGOT Karmayogi platform in multiple Indian languages, including Hindi.
It may be noted, the programme coincides with two key milestones. It aligns with the Foundation Day of the Capacity Building Commission. At the same time, it marks five years of Mission Karmayogi.
Overall, the initiative is expected to strengthen governance by promoting continuous learning and collaboration across India’s civil services ecosystem.
