Yugandhar Committee Report to Review In-Service Training of IAS officers

Why constituted?

In August 2000, a Committee with Shri B.N. Yugandhar, former Director, LBSNAA as Chairperson, was appointed to review the in-service training programs to consider ways to make the training more useful for training needs.

The Committee examined the efficacy of the in-service training of IAS officers and subsequently made several recommendations to strengthen further and improve these.

It included the need for three mid-career training programs in the 12th, 20th, and 28th years of service.

The palpable lack of interest in existing civil services training programmes has troubled administrative reform committees over the decades.

Thus far, the response has been to recommend that incentives and penalties be linked to performance in training.

The Yugandhar Committee made this recommendation in 2003, and the Mid-Career Training Programme (MCTP), introduced in 2007, linked career progression to the completion of training programmes.

Along similar lines, the current reform aims to link training with career milestones and department performance through “continuous performance analysis, data-driven goal-setting and real-time monitoring, including annual scorecards and rankings.”

The Committee also submitted its report on building up skills and competencies by providing training to All India Services Officers at different stages of their service careers.
