To enhance governance training in India, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh launched the “Amrit Gyaan Kosh” portal as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations. The portal, aimed at strengthening public administration training, was unveiled alongside the inauguration of the “Advanced Case Writing and Teaching Workshop,” a flagship initiative by the Capacity Building Commission (CBC). The workshop, organized in collaboration with the Stanford Leadership Academy for Development and the Asian Development Bank Institute, is designed to enhance the capacity of public administrators through case-based teaching methodologies.

In his address, Dr. Jitendra Singh emphasized the importance of case studies in bridging the gap between theory and practical governance. He highlighted the role of these case studies in providing real-world insights that are critical to effective decision-making and public administration. The Minister praised the faculty from Central and State Training Institutes for their dedication to shaping the future of governance in India and expressed optimism about the transformative outcomes of this workshop.

The highlight of the event was the launch of the “Amrit Gyaan Kosh” on the iGOT platform, developed jointly by the CBC and Karmayogi Bharat. This repository, which was initially launched in August 2024, curates best practices from across India and aligns with 15 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The portal houses a vast collection of case studies, teaching notes, and resources across diverse policy themes, including health, education, agriculture, and digital governance. It is available in multiple languages, including Hindi and Braille, ensuring broader accessibility.

Dr Jitendra Singh described the Amrit Gyaan Kosh portal as a testament to the Government’s commitment to the “whole of government” approach, which promotes inclusivity and accessibility. He urged participants to contribute new case studies to further enrich the repository, emphasizing the need for continuous knowledge sharing in the public administration community.

The “Advanced Case Writing and Teaching Workshop” aims to empower participants with advanced skills in case writing and teaching methodologies. Throughout the workshop, participants will learn to develop structured case studies and enhance their teaching techniques. The sessions, led by experts from Stanford Leadership Academy, will culminate in the creation of publishable case studies addressing real-world governance challenges.

The workshop also marks a significant milestone in the Capacity Building Commission’s mission to strengthen governance training. Dr. Singh commended the rigorous selection process that identified 60 top faculty members from over 300 nominations. These selected faculty members will benefit from intensive training, which will contribute significantly to the knowledge base available on the iGOT platform.

Further, Dr. Jitendra Singh highlighted that Amrit Gyaan Kosh is more than just a repository, it is a platform that encourages self-reliance in governance training. The curated resources allow faculty to align their teachings with both global standards and India’s unique administrative needs. The Minister encouraged participants to maximize the learning opportunity, collaborate with peers, and share their newfound insights with their institutions.

Dr Singh concluded by appreciating the efforts of the Capacity Building Commission and reiterated that initiatives like this are pivotal in strengthening India’s public administration system. He expressed confidence that the outcomes of this initiative would play a crucial role in the government’s vision of a “Viksit Bharat” by 2047, with a robust, effective, and self-reliant governance structure at its core.
