Puducherry: The Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research (JIPMER) Puducherry has officially joined the Government of India's flagship initiative - Mission Karmayogi, by establishing its own Capacity Building Unit (CBU). 

This step aligns with the directives of the Capacity Building Commission (CBC) and the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), Government of India.

Dr Stuti Verma, Consultant, Capacity Building, Training Division, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, has guided and mentored JIPMER in establishing the JIPMER CBC division and in her note, she said that Mission Karmayogi aims to transform the capacity and mindset of public servants by promoting a citizen-centric, accountable, and service-oriented workforce rooted in Indian values. Dr. Stuti added that CBC at its core, envisions a shift from a rule-based to a role-based approach in training and performance, ensuring that public service delivery becomes more efficient, effective, and empathetic.

Dr. Vir Singh Negi, Director, JIPMER, said that the JIPMER CBU has been set up with the vision to instill a culture of excellence and selfless service (Seva Bhav) among its employees. It is working towards fostering a professional environment where continuous learning, personal development, and leadership are integral. Training initiatives under the CBU are designed to enhance not only professional competence but also personal well-being, including stress management and innovative, solution-driven thinking.

As part of this initiative, Mr. S. Rangabashiam, Deputy Director (Administration), Dr. Kusa Kumar Shaha, Dean (Karaikal), and Dr. Madhusudhanan Ponnusamy, Associate Dean (Academic), recently completed an intensive 5-day Lead Trainer Program conducted by the Capacity Building Commission in Delhi NCR. Following this, they successfully organized a 3-day training session at JIPMER to prepare 32 Master Trainers (Karmayogi Facilitators).

These Master Trainers will now lead a series of one-day Rashtriya Karmayogi programs across JIPMER’s three campuses, with the aim of reaching and empowering all employees to embrace the ethos of Mission Karmayogi — transforming from Karmachari (traditional employee) to Karmayogi (purpose-driven professional).

Dr. Vir Singh Negi, Director, JIPMER, added saying that through the structured implementation of Mission Karmayogi, JIPMER seeks to further augment its institutional ethos of professionalism, empathy, and accountability.

The capacity-building initiatives are envisioned to enhance service delivery by fostering a workforce that not only upholds clinical excellence but also demonstrates a high degree of sensitivity and responsiveness in patient care. This forward-looking approach is expected to reinforce JIPMER’s long-standing commitment to delivering holistic, patient-centered healthcare of the highest standards.
