New Delhi, May 5: Over 51,000 frontline Railway Staff have been trained under Mission Rail Karmayogi. The objective is to transform the outlook of the Frontline staff by providing citizen centric training- firstly helping them develop the “intention to serve” and secondly building their “ability to serve”, the Ministry of Railways said on Thursday. Mission Karmayogi was launched on September 20 in 2020 by the Central government as one of the most significant capacity building initiatives anywhere in the world. Experts in capacity building and behavioral transformation have been roped in to develop customized texts and audio-visual content to impart the training. The extensive use of information technology is envisaged as a game-changer as it would ensure ‘any time, any place and any device learning’ while maintaining strict norms for monitoring and assessment, the ministry said. The project seeks to train about one lakh frontline Railway Staff in a six-month period. The objective of the Mission Rail Karmayogi is to transform the outlook of these Frontline staff by providing citizen centric training, the statement said. At least 1,000 identified frontline Railway employees, nominated from all 68 divisions of the Railways, would be trained as ‘Master Trainers’ at the Indian Railways Institute of Transport Management (IRITM), a Centralized Training Institute under the Ministry of Railways. These ‘Master Trainers’ would further train the remaining railway employees in the field in a time-bound manner, the statement added. (UNI)
