As a first step to break the silos and elite clubs that function within the Indian bureaucracy, Modi government has decided to hold a common foundation course ‘Aarambh’ for all Group A services including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) from 2020-2021.
Crux of the Matter
The government believes that Indian bureaucracy has largely moved from a national to a self-serving agenda as there is no penalty for acts of omission.
PM Modi had allegedly told the bureaucrats that they have wasted the previous 5 years of his mandate and he would not let them waste the next 5.
The common foundation course for civil service probationers took place at the Statue of Unity in Gujarat. They were exposed to the future of technology and exponential thinking.
94th Foundation Course was conducted for 744 candidates with the the six-day module wherein PM Modi urged trainee bureaucrats to double their outcomes so that India becomes a $5 trillion economy by 2022.
Trainees were made aware of several trends like AI and Big Data and their possible impact on the Civil Services
The trainees were addressed by experts including David Malpaas, President of the World Bank, Sir Suma Chakraborti, President, European Bank for Reconstruction.
