The Union Government is expanding capacity building for scientists and academics in its efforts to prepare institutions for evolving governance demands. This was disclosed by Union Minister of Personnel and Training Jitendra Singh on Friday while addressing the valedictory ceremony of Sadhana Saptah 2026 in Delhi.
The Sadhana (Strengthening Adaptive Development and Humane Aptitude for National Advancement) Saptah is virtually an initiative that aims to equip institutions for future governance needs. It has been termed one of the largest collaborative capacity-building efforts across India’s civil services ecosystem.
Singh described artificial intelligence and digital tools as key enablers of future-ready governance. He also added that government employees are increasingly adopting emerging competencies to keep pace with change.
But Singh cautioned that technology must be used only to complement human judgment, as integrity remains central to public service.
The minister also pointed out that the government is also expanding the scope of training to new domains, including science administrators and academicians, with similar orientation efforts being explored for parliamentarians and ministers.
Singh empashised that this reflects a broader approach to preparing institutions for evolving governance demands.
