Kohima, September 26 (DIPR): Chief Secretary of Nagaland, Pankaj Kumar (IAS) today informed that the training policy of the State is under process and will soon go to the cabinet. He expressed hope that it will soon come out as a training document.
Speaking at the inaugural function of the DoPT sponsored ‘training of trainers workshop for induction training program’ at Administrative Training Institute (ATI), Kohima, the Chief Secretary lamented that there is no in-service training in the state. In this, he advocated the need to hold induction and in-service training not only for NCS and Allied services but also for technical services in areas like project monitoring, project management and others. “Hopefully, we will get through with the training document in a couple of months and we can start executing the training programs this year,” he said.
Pankaj also advised the trainees to pick their areas of interest since not everyone can have the same interest. “We need to learn how to coordinate and look for opportunities, sometimes you need other departments to succeed in order to have your department successful,” he added.
