About the Project

Mission Karmayogi – the National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building (NPCSCB), is designed to enhance and establish efficient governance through civil service capacity building. The aim of the Government is to prepare the Indian civil service for the future by ensuring that officials have the tools to be more innovative, professional, enabling and transparent.

Many initiatives are being taken under NPCSCB to create a competent civil service cadre that is rooted in Indian ethos, possesses a shared understanding of India’s priorities and works harmoniously for effective and efficient public service delivery. Mission Karmayogi has been operationalised through the iGOT (Integrated Government Online Training) Karmayogi platform.

The Framework of Roles, Activities and Competencies (FRAC) shapes the guiding principle comprising the mapping of three constructs (roles, activities and competencies, supported by knowledge resources) for each individual position within all government ministries, departments and organisations (MDOs) at the national, state and local level. Ensuring last-mile excellence is a key component of the capacity building initiatives envisioned under NPCSCB.

With large-scale development programmes like National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) being implemented by the Government, capacity building of the front-line workers and the facilitators engaged for delivering schemes and services assumes significance in the context of the goals of Mission Karmayogi. JEEViKA, India’s largest state level women’s socio-economic empowerment program, working directly with over 10 million (1 crore) families in rural Bihar has defined its vision 2030 for improving service delivery and ensuring meaningful livelihoods. A key part of this vision is the enhancement of JEEViKA’s organizational capacities.

To enable and support the attainment of the vision, a Goal Oriented Human Resource Management (GO-HRM) system is envisaged to be operationalised within JEEViKA with the support of external HR & technical agencies. A goal-oriented human resource management system will allow department to link their goals with well-defined targets for teams and individuals, map competencies required to fulfill these targets, and link capacity to performance management.

To support this effort, PCI under its systems strengthening strategies is extending technical support to JEEViKA in operationalising the entire process of ‘Goal oriented human resource management’. The individual hired for the position of ‘Project lead-GO-HRM’ with responsibilities and qualifications as described in this job description, will support PCI’s work as part of this initiative.
