Subject:
Inviting Inputs/ Comments on Competency Dictionary for Civil Services.National
Training policy (NTP)- 2012 stipulates that each Government
Department/Ministry should classify all posts with a clear job
description and competencies required in order to move from the current
system of rule-based Personnel Administration to Competency-based system
of Strategic Human Resource Management' The objective of moving towards
a competency-based approach is to ensure that each job is performed by
the person who has the required competencies for that job.
2.
DoPT in collaboration with UNDP has prepared a Competency Dictionary for
Civil Services to assist Departments/ Ministries/ Training Institutions
in identification of competencies for various posts. This competency
Dictionary has been developed in consultation with various stakeholders
including Senior Civil Servants from Central and States Government
Departments, cadre controlling Authorities, PM Award winners and
Training Institutions'
3. The competency Dictionary is not
specific to any Department/ Ministry, Function or Post' However, this
could be useful for Departments/ Ministries/ Training Institutions while
identifying competencies for various posts and levels within their
organizations' An Implementation tool-kit has also been prepared to
provide step-by-step guidance on how Departments/ organizations can
identify competencies for each post.
4. Once the competencies for
various posts are defined, an assessment of job-holder's competencies
vis-)-vis current or future roles could be carried out. This assessment
is valuable in preparing the personal Development plan (pDp) for each
officer to ensure that training is closely aligned to the specific
needs. Training Institutions can play a vital role in this entire
process from identifying the competencies to designing of Personal
Development Plans'.
5. Inputs/ comments are invited from all
Government Departments/ Ministries, Training Institutions, Civil
Servants, HR Experts and Public in-general on Competency Dictionary for
Civil services and lmplementation Tool-Kit. The Inputs/ comments may be
