3. 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1
Purpose
This document, Master e-Governance Training Plan (MeTP), is a two year programme for
imparting training to Central Government employees of Delhi based Central Government
Ministries/Departments under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) of the Government of
India in a phased manner starting with Central Ministries/departments which are running
Mission Mode Projects and also Ministries/Departments where e-Office is being implemented
(list annexed), during the first year(by 31st March, 2014). Remaining Central Government Main
Ministries/Departments will be covered in the second phase (31st March, 2015). Subordinate
and attached offices of main Ministries/Departments may be included based on their request. It
recommends a plan for building capacity of the employees using e-Governance systems and
processes, managing e-Governance projects and contributing to e-Governance initiatives.
It has been developed with the background that at present e-Governance related capacity
building scheme of Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY), Government
of India focuses on the States & UT’s. However, various MMPs and other e-Governance
initiatives are being implemented and facilitated by the central Government Ministries and
Departments.
1.2
Background
The Government of India has taken a national level e-Governance initiative, the National eGovernance Plan (NeGP). The plan seeks to lay the foundation and provide the impetus for longterm growth of e-Governance within the country. It is the need of the day to create the right
governance, institutionalize mechanisms, set up the core infrastructure and policies, implement
a number of Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) both at centre and state level, and also integrate
service levels to create a citizen-centric and business-centric environment for governance.
The NeGP vision is to “Make all Government services accessible to the common man in his locality,
through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency & reliability of such
services at affordable costs to realise the basic needs of the common man”.
The enormous task of driving Mission Mode Projects (MMPs) under NeGP requires government
employees to upgrade their skills appropriately. Recognizing this need for capacity building, the
NeGP includes ‘Human Resources and Training’ as a support component.
Capacity building means identifying the gaps in a working environment and building up
strategies to mitigate these gaps. The aim is to develop organization’s core skills and
capabilities, such as leadership, management, finance, programmes and evaluation, in order to
improve effectiveness and sustainability. It is the process of assisting an individual or group to
identify and address issues and gain insights, knowledge and experience needed towards
progression and implementing change.
In its tenth report, the Second Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC) emphasizes that eGovernance reforms require a wide range of capabilities – conceptualization of reforms, policy
analysis, preparing road maps, alternatives analysis, prioritization, application of technology,
and project implementation. Each of these categories has a hierarchy of skills, competencies,
and capabilities ranging from operational to managerial.
3

4. The ARC goes on to state that the successful implementation of e-Governance programmes, such
as Bhoomi in Karnataka, illustrate how a well-defined training plan can increase the chances of
project success. Under a well-planned and well-executed training programme in Bhoomi, more
than 10,000 government officials and over 700 village officials were trained on data preparation
and validation - an initiative that lasted 60 weeks. In Andhra Pradesh, too, a ten-week egovernment programme for training senior officers in implementing the NeGP vision achieved
encouraging results.
Drawing on these positive experiences, the ARC, in its report, stresses the need for capacity
building of civil servants at all levels through compulsory induction and mid-career training.
The Eleventh Report of the Commission states:
“It is expected that e-Governance would enable the government to discharge its functions more
effectively. However, this would require the government to change itself – its processes, its outlook,
laws, rules and regulations and also its way of interacting with the citizens. It would also require
capacity building within the government and creation of general awareness about e-Governance
among the citizens.” [Para 1.3]
1.3
Need for training
The e-Governance systems ushered in by NeGP involve changes to the ways of working that are
decades old. In the absence of adequate knowledge, employees find it difficult to adapt the new
processes. Unfamiliarity leads to insecurity, which translates to reluctance. To minimize the
risks of failure arising from such issues, a comprehensive training programme that will help
employees gear up to meet the changes is required. Motivated and competent staff smoothen
the path of change in any e-Governance transition by adjusting quickly to new methods and
processes.
Taking into consideration the competencies required across the department functionaries, the
core areas include the following:
4

5. Type 1: Basic ICT skills for office work

Office productivity applications, internet and email
Type 2: e-Governance related knowledge and skills to address the competencies required
during project execution

eGov life cycle, GPR, Business model and PPP, regulatory framework and IT Act, Contract
management, DPR, RFP, Change Management
Type 3: MMP specific eGovernance competencies and applications
Type 4: Soft skills for developing the right attitude for the eGovernance transformations

Such as team building, leadership, effective presentation
Type 5: Specialized professional skills in the areas of technology and management

Such as project management, , IT Security, IT Audit
Training objectives
1.4
The Second Administrative Reforms Commission in its eleventh report states: “e-Governance
reforms require a wide range of capabilities – conceptualization of reforms, policy analysis,
preparing road maps, alternatives analysis, prioritization, application of technology, project
implementation. These can be classified into four broad categories: (a) conceptual, (b) subject
matter related, (c) technological and, (d) project management.” [Para 6.5.4 of eleventh report]
The following are the primary objectives of training:




Equip the average government employee with the skills required to use the evolving
systems and processes.
Aid policy makers in prioritizing e-Governance reform and connecting the dots between
various aspects of e-Governance.
Support project managers by imparting training on modern project and change
management techniques and tools.
Facilitate transformation in government departments by equipping select teams with
skills in process re-engineering and enterprise architecture.

6. 2. PROGRAMME FRAMEWORK
Approach
2.1
The approach to develop the desired capacity within the Government would be to establish an
institutional mechanism for sustainability. There is also a need to build an enabling
environment by way of policy and guidelines.
There are a large number of employees in Central Government Ministries/Departments
required to be sensitized and trained in various areas of e-Governance project development and
management. Hence, developing and delivering a training programme is a complex process that
involves multiple phases. These phases are:
1. Planning: Developing the curriculum, identifying the target audience, identification of
specific training needs, creating an institutional model to provide the training, and
preparing a roll-out plan
2. Content development: Developing the course material (including any multimedia
content) that will be used for delivering the training
3. Content dissemination: Dissemination of content through sensitisation and awareness
workshops, electronic channels (such as training portals) and faculty-led sessions
delivered personally or virtually (over a multi-media link)
4. Assessment and certification: Certification of participants, and analysis of feedback

Change management
Targeted roles
Keeping in view the general principles outlined in the National Training Policy 2012 (Section 4),
it is planned that the civil servants will be provided with training on e-Governance to equip
them with the required competencies to meet the job requirements. Such training will be
imparted at appropriate intervals during their career.
The opportunities for training will not be restricted to mandated points but to bridge the gaps
as they arise during the career through a mix of conventional courses, distance and e‐learning
programmes.
The MeTP has not been made designation specific but role-based. Hence, potential participants
has been categorised in the following groups.
1. General users (G1): Government employees from Assistants and equivalent to the level
of Section Officer, whether using or will use e-Governance systems in their day-to-day
functioning, are potentially included in this category.
2. Project managers (G2): This group consists of the officers who play key role in
managing e-Governance projects or initiatives. This category consists of employees at
the level of Under Secretary/ Deputy Secretary/ Director.
3. Nodal officers (G3): This group consists of the officers of the rank of joint Secretary
who play key role in implementation of e-Governance projects or initiatives as a nodal
officer or the Mission Leader.

3.3
Decision and policy makers (G4): Senior officers involved in policy or decisionmaking are targeted in this group. They are at the level of Additional
Secretary/Secretary.
Delivery modes
Training will be delivered through seminars/workshops, online portals or instructor-led
classroom sessions.
1. Seminar/Workshop- Seminars/workshops, where participants interact with
subject matter experts will be part of the training to create awareness and sensitize
the users on e-Governance.
2. Instructor Led Training (ILT) – The training is conducted in a classroom by an
instructor/faculty and the participants are required to attend physically as per a
fixed calendar schedule.
3. Virtual Classroom (VC) – This mode of training gives a live classroom experience
from remote locations. This innovative, synchronous virtual learning experience
provides real-time interaction with trainers and participants via internet or
dedicated IP.
4. e-Learning – This mode of training is a convenient self-paced learning mode
anywhere, anytime. The participants can log into their central e-learning portal and
access/download the training material, access the e-learning modules, take
assessment tests, and also discuss amongst the participants and moderator.
