Knowledge Co-creation Program
Subject:- Knowledge Co-creation Programme (International Study Tour) -Call For Nominations
Dear Sir/Madam,
The Indian Council for Training & Social Research (ICTSR) registered Under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 serves as a autonomous body for different sectors of the Indian industry.The primary objective of ICTSR is to provide training to officers belonging to the Central/State Government Service, as well as officers from other organized/subsidiary services that operate within the State and Central Government. This training aims to enhance the skills, knowledge, and capabilities of these officers, enabling them to perform their duties more effectively and efficiently.In essence, ICTSR plays a crucial role in the professional development of government officers, contributing to the overall improvement of administrative services within the central and state government.
In response to the demands of today's rapidly changing business environment, continuous evolution and enhancement of one's knowledge base are essential. While experiential learning remains invaluable, staying abreast of emerging technologies and best practices, particularly in technical realms, is imperative for project productivity and overall work effectiveness. We are thrilled to introduce our specialized program, the Study Tour for Construction Professionals, meticulously designed for executives and decision-makers in various sectors including local, state, and central government, as well as the corporate sphere. By facilitating international tours, our program aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of cutting-edge practices and innovations globally. As India positions itself on the global stage, this initiative is poised to empower participants with the insights and exposure required to contribute effectively to the nation's growth.
ICTSR has planned to organise the international study tours on different topics in below mentioned cities:-

The ICTSR a government-mandated institution dedicated to imparting training to officers of the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) and other organized or subsidiary services. These officers play a critical role in the formulation, execution, monitoring, and review of policies in Central Government Ministries and Departments, forming the backbone of governance.
While it is acknowledged that, under GST regulations, services provided to institutions other than educational institutions are generally taxable, it is imperative to note that ICTSR is not an educational institution but a training institute exclusively catering to government officers and staff.
Basis for GST Exemption
1. Notification Dated 28.06.2017 (Heading 9964 Onwards):
The Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, in its notification dated 28.06.2017 (enclosed for reference), stipulates GST exemptions for various services provided to the Government. This principle enables the Government to exempt specific services provided by agencies from the liability of GST payment.
2. Relevance to ICTSR's Functions:
While the specific stipulation under Sl. No. 72 of the notification (Heading 9992) may not explicitly name ICTSR, the institute's role in imparting training to government officers aligns with the spirit and principle of the notification. ICTSR functions as a nonprofit organization, delivering training exclusively for government personnel, and its services merit consideration for exemption from GST liability.
