Union Minister of State Dr. Jitendra Singh used the valedictory session of the 21st Round of the Phase-IV Mid-Career Training Programme (MCTP) for Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers to argue for a new model of governance training. He linked Mission Karmayogi to continuous learning, citizen-centric administration and technology-enabled reform, and said India’s administrative diversity should become a source of strength.
What happened
The four-week programme ran from 15 June to 10 July 2026 at the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), Mussoorie. It brought together 51 IAS officers from across the country, each with over 14 years of administrative experience, for advanced capacity building under Mission Karmayogi.
UPSC may ask how Mission Karmayogi is changing capacity building in the civil services, and how technology, decentralisation and inter-cadre learning can improve service delivery. The issue also fits questions on administrative accountability, institutional innovation and the role of trained bureaucracy in Viksit Bharat 2047.
