TRAINING POLICY AND PROGRAMMES
TRAINING SUPPORT
Thematic Training Programmes
5.11 Under this scheme of “Training for All”, support is provided to State Administrative
Training Institutes by way of sponsoring training programmes conducted by these
institutes, which are in the priority areas of the Central Government. The Training
Programmes conducted by the State ATIs are designed to develop management
skills and knowledge in different areas for senior and middle level officers of State
Governments./State Public Sector Undertakings and State autonomous bodies.
These training courses are also meant to sensitize the officers to new and important
issues facing our society. These programmes are conducted in the apex Training
Institutes of the States. Apart from ATIs such programmes are now also being
conducted at District and Sub District Centres. These programmes cover a large
variety of subjects under broad thematic groups. During the year 2008-09, about
850 such short-term courses are being sponsored through various State
Administrative Training Institutes and other training centers on subjects such as
Ethics in Administration, Disaster Management, Right to Information, Gender Issues,
Decentralized Planning, Financial Management, e-Governance, etc. At the
completion of each programme, a Course Director’s report is furnished by the
institute, which is analysed and appropriate feedback provided by the Training
Division to the institute. With a view to ensuring that the quality of the programme is
maintained by outsourcing of the faculty wherever required, and that the institutes
do not face a financial constraint on account of increasing costs over the years, the
rates of course fees are reviewed periodically and enhanced appropriately.
