Orientation Booklet

Background
COMMIT, the Blended Training Programme is being piloted in the
6 states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Assam, West Bengal, Telangana
and Haryana with the objective to improve public service delivery and
Promote Good-governance and citizen centricity of administration.
The Blended Training Programme is strategically aligned and will
supplement the 12-day Induction Training Programme (ITP) being
implemented by DoPT for newly recruited (0-2 years) frontline state
government functionaries who have received no training. Under
COMMIT, all newly recruited frontline state government functionaries
who have received no induction training for professional and personal
development in last 5 years will be covered.

Concept
COMMIT will allow officers and faculty to take advantage of much
of the flexibility and convenience of an online course while retaining
the benefits of the face-to-face classroom experience.

Under the Induction Training Programme (ITP), approximately 10,000

officers are trained in all states annually, on organizational and
personal development and attitudinal orientation. Through the
Blended Training Programme approximately 85000 officers will be
covered in the pilot phase.

The advantages of such a programme will be providing opportunities

to more officers who have had limited or no training to build the
requisite skills, knowledge and attitude; require limited classroom
space; and offer the advantages of online learning combined with
the social and instructional interaction.
