The programme is open to officers of All India Services (lAS, IPS & IFoS), Central Civil Services (Group ‘A’), faculty members of State Administrative Training Institutes (ATIs) and also officers of the State Civil Services (Group ‘A’). The course builds competencies in Public Policy, Economics, Corporate Finance and Global Financial Markets, Technology and Society, Gender & Development, Ethics in Public Policy, and Public-Private Partnership. Five Batches of the program have already been completed and the 6th batch is underway, which is being attended by 14 participants.
