KIM is consistently implementing a well thought out training regime approved by the National School of Public Policy (NSPP) in terms of training modules, training methodology and its conduct. Training programs at KIM have been devised with an aim to mingle various training methodologies and approaches to achieve the objectives of promoting independent, creative and unique analytical skills, cultivating research capabilities, mentoring personality, building moral character and ethics besides indoctrinating pro-people leadership and management qualities amongst the participants. Another objective of these training programs is to enable participating officers to shoulder ever-growing volume of responsibilities and daunting challenge of maintaining the superior professionalism and moral values aimed at bringing the Civil Service of AJ&K at par with the rest of the country. Distinguished Civil Servants and experts of fame from different professions/walks of life are invited for lecture discussions, from all over the country, to cater for the need to address national and local issues i.e. economy, national security, effective leadership, responsive democratic governance, meticulous financial management, ethics of public service and sustainable development etc.
All training courses, workshops and seminars at KIM care expose participants to the contemporary issues of governance, national security, financial management, public policy and development besides inculcating pro-people leadership skills through empirical learning such as priority setting, communication and strategic planning. Case studies, simulation exercises, tutorial discussions, presentations, analysis papers and individual research papers are the tools used to hone leadership potentials of participants who are also put through comprehensive brainstorming sessions on different perspectives, looking at their strengths and weaknesses and also to analyze the arguments in a logical sequence. They also learn to sift important information from the trivial and draw convincing conclusions.
‘Annual Reports’ contain well considered set of recommendations of specially designed research activities to enable the respective Govt. authorities to improve their efficiency and efficacy by implementing the well-researched policy guidelines. Annual Report-2022 of KIM, very confidently highlighting a number of achievements in surpassing new milestones, would have not seen light of the day without an extraordinary effort and assistance extended by all concerned quarters, for which they deserve appreciation. The insistent support by the government, the Chief Secretaries and Secretaries S&GAD, since 2011, has been the sole strength of this budding institution which enabled it in rising to the expectations in service delivery. Special thanks are due to all Chief Secretaries who have always given this organization enormous buoyancy by guiding and appreciating its efforts which was highly encouraging and motivating factor for the entire Team KIM. We are confident that under able guidance of the incumbent Chief Secretary (Chairman Board of Governors, KIM) this organization will be able to rise to expectations by pulling its weight into the uphill task of highly qualitative efficient service delivery in the field of training of the Civil/Public Service of the State.
