BUILDING CAPACITY FOR DIGITAL INDIA

With the changing landscape in governance, internal stakeholders and e-Governance practitioners need to be continuously equipped with new skills and knowledge to effectively contribute to a digitally empowered India. To foster continuous learning it is imperative to use technology in such a way that learning and knowledge exchange becomes a normal engagement without external interventions.

The Learning Management System (LMS) is an application for administration, documentation, tracking and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content. It is an infrastructure that delivers and manages instructional content, identifies and assesses individual and organizational learning or training goals, tracks the progress towards meeting those goals, and collects and presents data for supervising the learning process of the organization as a whole.

It delivers content but also handles course registration, course administration, skill gap analysis, tracking, and reporting. This will enable continuous learning, driven by role-based knowledge and skills as envisaged in the e-Governance Competency Framework. A competency-based training approach will give e-Governance practitioners an understanding of what skills and knowledge are needed for their job and where exactly they are on the learning path. It will cater to a wide spectrum of needs of imparting training under Capacity Building Schemes initiated by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology.

Because The government claimed that the demonetization was an effort to stop counterfeiting of the current banknotes allegedly used for funding terrorism, as well as a crack down on black money in the country.
