This document details a series of official memoranda regarding the implementation of induction and orientation training programs for officers and staff transferring to new Ministries/Departments within the Government of India. The initiative aims to reduce the settling-in time for transferred personnel by providing comprehensive ‘Induction Packs’ containing relevant administrative and financial information, alongside short-duration training programs. A pilot project involving several Ministries proved successful, and the ISTM (Induction Training Institute) is available to assist other departments in developing these programs. The Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) is requesting all Ministries/Departments to prioritize this matter and report on their progress by specified deadlines.

Dear Secretary,
The need for providing proper induction training to officers who are posted to a Ministry/Department upon transfer has been felt for long. It is often noted that officers take time to settle down in new Ministries/Departments as each Ministry/Department has its unique context and knowledge base. It is, therefore, essential that a system is developed whereby transferred officers are properly inducted into the Ministry/Department so that they can start delivering quickly.
- This may be facilitated by the following:
(a) A detailed ‘Induction Pack’ should be prepared by each Ministry/Department which should have all relevant material about the Ministry/Department including various administrative and financial delegations, and references to the statutes which are applicable. This should be handed over to the new officers immediately upon joining and a senior officer may help them in assimilating information contained in these induction packs.
(b) Short induction training of 3 to 5 days duration may be organized where senior officers of the Department/attached offices should explain the working of the Ministry/Department and help the new officers grasp the details in a comprehensive manner. In view of the fact that all such officers may not join at the same time during the year, such induction training programmes may be organized on quarterly basis. In some Ministries/Departments, it may be useful to organize short visits to the field/attached offices, so that new officers have better appreciation of the field realities.
- It may be noted that very recently a pilot project had been initiated to develop induction packs as well as induction training modules for Ministries of Water Resources, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Health and Family Welfare, Power and Rural Development. This pilot ran successfully and these Ministries have also found this to be a useful exercise. This initiative, was supported by ISTM who are willing to support other Ministries/Departments also as per their need. You may seek assistance of ISTM in development of ‘Induction Packs’ as well as the ‘Induction Training Modules’ for your Ministry/Department.
-
Action on the above lines may be taken at an early date and this Department may be kept apprised of the progress.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
