“Modernisation will be taken up at a cost of Rs. 35 crore”
The Civil Service Training Institute at Bhavanisagar in Erode district, established to impart foundational training to clerical staff, State service officers of various categories and in-service training for deputy tahsildars, will be modernised at Rs. 35 crore, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa told the Assembly on Monday.
Making a suo motu statement, she said it was no exaggeration that training centres played a vital role in improving the skills and knowledge of government employees and officials to ensure efficient functioning of the government machinery.
She said the conference hall, class rooms, hostel buildings, dining halls, staff quarters, trainer hostels, library buildings, hostels of deputy tahsildars and office building were in bad shape and this hampered the training.
“Keeping in mind the need for providing foundational training and make the Civil Service Training Centre into a high-class institute the government will spend Rs. 35 crore,” Ms. Jayalalithaa said.
The amount will be used for constructing class rooms, indoor stadiums, separate room for teachers, building for administrative office and video-conferencing room.

Training and retraining and refresher courses for civil servantrds at
all levels would be necessary. It may be recalled that Britain's
coalition government in its move for civil service reforms has
emphasised on imparting greater skills to them so as to contend with
private sector in the evolving and managing of public private
partnerships. They are sending the civil servants for a course in the
Said School of Business at the Oxford University. Our 12th Plan has
allocated an astronomical amount on infrastructure bulk of which shall
be under PPP. It will therefore be necessary to impartr latest skills
to the civil servants at all levels. We need not send them overseas
but a faculty drawn from the Planning Commission, CAG in coordination
with our own leading IIMs shall be able to do the needful. Government
should examine these suggestions.
