Jammu & Kashmir Finance Department Promotes Skill Development Through IGOT Online Courses
The Finance Department of Jammu & Kashmir has issued a circular encouraging officers to register for online courses offered by the Integrated Government Online Training (IGOT) platform. A flagship initiative under Mission Karmayogi, IGOT aims to enhance the capacity of civil servants through digital training, ensuring they are equipped to address governance challenges effectively.
The platform provides over 1,500 courses, with 40 specifically focused on finance and accounts. Officers at the Assistant Accounts Officer level and above are mandated to register and complete courses per a provided calendar. This training initiative is expected to contribute significantly to their professional development and capacity building.
To ensure accountability, officers are required to reflect their course progress in quarterly EPM (Employee Performance Monitoring) reports. Reporting officers will allocate two points for this activity in the grading system.
The annexure to the circular outlines a detailed schedule of courses, covering topics like financial management, cyber security, procurement processes, public policies, and government accounting. The timeline spans from the third quarter of 2024-25 to the end of 2025-26. These courses aim to develop critical skills in finance, governance, and technology.
This move is part of a broader strategy to create a digitally skilled and efficient workforce capable of meeting the demands of modern governance.
