“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” Benjamin Franklin

It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as the Director General of the Indian Council for Training & Social Research (ICTSR), an institution committed to excellence and the highest professional standards. ICTSR has cultivated expertise in facilitating skill development and instilling a positive attitude, all aimed at enhancing organizational effectiveness.

In today’s dynamic landscape, one of the paramount priorities for both Central and State Governments is the training and capacity building of government officials at all levels. This imperative has gained even more significance in light of the evolving government functions, the need for convergence, and the relentless pursuit of systematic performance and outcomes improvement. As the aspirations of our citizens soar, their expectations for efficient public service delivery have skyrocketed.

At ICTSR, we stand as a lighthouse guiding public servants toward a deeper understanding of professional requirements, including the need for value-based management. We strive to equip them with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes required to optimize their performance in their respective domains.

In a world characterized by rapidly changing needs and ever-evolving technologies, there’s a compelling need to empower our workforce through a coordinated and sustainable approach. The days of stereotypical curricula and outdated training methods are behind us. ICTSR is wholeheartedly embracing innovation, integrating various programs that align with everyday functions, and harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies to manage work processes more effectively.

Our primary mission at ICTSR is to nurture the right abilities and capabilities within our participants. We are deeply committed to creating, sustaining, and continually improving an environment that fosters learning and innovation. With the active engagement of our stakeholders, we aim to realize our vision of transforming ICTSR into a Center of Excellence.
