Message from Director FPI

Ms. Prachi Pandey, IA & AS

The importance of the ‘human element’ in good governance cannot be over-emphasised. Efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of government services is directly related to the quality of the human resources manning various positions. In addition, as a model employer, Governments today have to create conditions which optimize the development of its employees. These twin objectives are ultimately addressed through training and capacity development programmes which build skills and disseminate knowledge. It is a matter of honour and privilege for the Fiscal Policy Institute that it has come to play such a major role in fulfilling the training requirements of the Government of Karnataka. It has been the endeavour of the Institute to raise its training reputation and profile by enhancing, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the various programmes that it conducts each year. For 2015-16, the training brochure indicates that the number of training man days has increased by almost 100 per cent while the number of programmes has doubled over the previous year. Qualitatively, FPI’s training calendar for 2015-16, includes both department-driven job-oriented trainings as well as subject-specific modules. Both type of programmes have been designed to upgrade knowledge and skills with practical application. New programmes have been introduced like the Externally Aided Project Management and Commercial Accounting courses while other programmes like the Specialised Course (CTD) and ICT course (KSAD) have been fine-tuned and updated so as to better achieve the training expectations and requirements. The Institute’s state-of-the-art facilities, vibrant faculty and highly accomplished resource persons ensure that each programme is marked by a professional approach in development of course curricula, training methodology and study material. Consequently, it is our request that all Government departments and organisations take advantage of the training courses being offered at FPI and nominate their employees for the courses most suited to their needs.
