State tops in e-Learning training for field staff

Hyderabad: For the second year in succession, Telangana State ranked number one in e-Learning training programme of Department of Personal and Training (DoPT), Government India.

During the financial year 2018-19, Dr Marri Channa Reddy Human Resources Development (MCR HRD) Institute enrolled over 20,000 field staff in different districts of the State to impart training on 12 soft skills modules and three domain-specific modules- RTI, office procedures, and finance and accounts, apart from sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Over 40, 000 field staff belonging to different departments were trained in the State. This was mainly possible by following a decentralised mode by involving district administration and regional training Centres of Dr MCR HRD Institutes located in erstwhile district headquarters.

To ensure decentralised implementation of the e-Learning training program, fully equipped and dedicated computer labs were set up by MCR HRD Institute in all its regional training Centres, according to officials.

B P Acharya, Director General of Dr MCR HRD Institute and Special Chief Secretary thanked all the District Collectors and staff of the Institute in achieving this milestone and expressed the hope that this would pave the way for domain-specific department-wise e-Learning training modules for field staff in future.
