Sadhana Shrinkhla 2026: Four Workshops on Training Institutes

The correct answer is the Capacity Building Commission. The Commission is running Sadhana Shrinkhla 2026, a nationwide series of regional consultative engagements meant to carry the transformation of government Training Institutes under Mission Karmayogi into competency-driven Capacity Building Institutions. NITI Aayog is wrong; it is the government policy think tank and does not run this series, though it works on many governance questions. The Union Public Service Commission is wrong because it conducts recruitment examinations and has no role in training institute transformation of this kind. The National Skill Development Corporation is wrong as well, since it works on skilling in industry and the wider workforce rather than on the capacity of government officials. Candidates should tie the Capacity Building Commission to Mission Karmayogi, to the Karmayogi Quality Framework and to the UNNATI portal, which links more than 900 training institutions on a single platform.

The correct answer is Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh, which hosts the Southern Region workshop on 29-30 September 2026 and opens the series. The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N. Chandrababu Naidu, graces the inaugural event in the presence of the Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh, and officials and training institutes from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry take part. Guwahati is wrong as the first venue; the Northeastern Region workshop is held there on 9-10 October 2026. Lucknow is wrong because the Northern Region round comes later, on 23-24 October 2026. Pune is wrong as well, since the Western Region workshop is planned for 16-17 November 2026 and is still to be confirmed. Each of the four workshops runs for a day and a half and is graced by the Chief Minister of the host state.

The correct answer is 900. UNNATI, the Unified New-Age National Training Initiative portal, brings more than 900 training institutions on to a single platform, and the implementation of the transformation framework is anchored there. It gives institutes visibility, supports cooperation between them and allows continuous, data-informed improvement, while its exchange, called UXchange, lets them share training courses, faculty and infrastructure across the network. The choices of 500 and 700 are wrong because the announcement of 28 September 2026 clearly puts the number above 900, and they understate the reach of the platform. The figure of 1,200 is wrong as it overstates it. Remember along with this that the insights from the Sadhana Shrinkhla workshops will feed into the Training Institution Transformation Framework, and that Mission Karmayogi covers officials at every level, from ASHA workers to secretaries, on the path to Viksit Bharat @2047.
