Building on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ambitious Mission Karmayogi, the Uttar Pradesh government has taken major steps to equip officers and employees with digital skills, making governance more efficient, transparent, and accountable.

The Social Welfare Department is leading this transformation by training its officers and staff through the iGOT Karmayogi digital platform. The initiative is enhancing administrative efficiency and ensuring citizens receive faster, more transparent, and effective services.

UP Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Social Welfare, Aseem Arun, said, “Mission Karmayogi is the result of the shared vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, whose goal is to make government services more transparent and effective. The Social Welfare department is moving rapidly in this direction. Our officers and employees are becoming digitally proficient, ensuring that the public receives the benefits of government schemes more quickly and transparently. Efficiency improves the quality of service, and that is the foundation of good governance under the Yogi Government.”

According to departmental data here on Friday, by September 2025, a total of 3,900 officers, regular and contractual employees, and teachers have registered on the portal. Together, they have completed 21,150 online courses, amounting to 15,893 hours of digital training. Among them, 2,759 employees have completed at least one course, 2,289 have completed three or more courses, while 1,611 have completed fewer than three. Meanwhile, 1,141 employees are yet to finish their training.

This campaign, aligned with the UP government’s good governance model, aims to make every government employee skilled, transparent, and accountable—ushering in a new era of digital governance in Uttar Pradesh.

The training courses under Mission Karmayogi emphasize not only administrative reforms but also technological advancement. Topics like yoga breaks at workplace promote a stress-free work culture, while the POSH Act 2013 strengthens women’s safety at the workplace. Courses such as the procurement process on GeM, the National Education Policy 2020, basics of artificial intelligence, and the Right to Information Act are reinforcing transparency, technological proficiency, and accountability in government services.
