Sadhana Shrinkhla 2026: Guwahati Hosts 2nd CBC Workshop

The correct answer is the Capacity Building Commission. The Commission is running this nationwide series of four regional workshops to help turn civil service training institutions into capacity building institutions under the National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building. Option A is wrong because NITI Aayog is the government's policy think tank and does not run the civil services capacity building programme. Option C is wrong because the Union Public Service Commission conducts recruitment examinations and advises on service matters, not the transformation of training institutes. Option D names a department that leads several governance and administrative reform campaigns, and it is easy to confuse the two, but the workshops in this series belong to the Commission set up specifically for capacity building. Candidates should connect the Commission with the UNNATI portal and with the Training Institute Transformation Framework, all three of which appear together in questions.

The correct answer is more than 700. The Unified New-Age National Training Initiative portal brings that many training institutes on to a single digital platform, with the purpose of closing the gap between the demand for capacity building and what institutions can actually supply. Through the portal, institutes can respond to the competency needs that emerge from Capacity Building Plans, gain visibility, share resources and improve on the strength of data. Options A and B understate the number of institutes linked, while option D overstates it. Candidates should remember the full form of the portal's name along with the figure, and also that the portal was launched during Sadhana Saptah, the week-long exercise held in April, since examiners often ask which initiative was launched at which event rather than asking for the number alone.

The correct answer is Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, the Chief Minister of Assam, who will open the workshop in Guwahati, where stakeholders from all eight States of the North Eastern region are gathering along with heads and faculty of government training institutes, subject experts and industry partners. Option A is wrong because the Governor of the State is not named as the one inaugurating this workshop. Option C names the Minister of State who holds charge of the personnel portfolio under which the Commission functions, which makes it a tempting choice, but the inauguration at Guwahati is being done by the State's Chief Minister. Option D is wrong because the Commission is the organiser of the series rather than the inaugurating authority at this particular regional workshop. Note that the first workshop of the series was held at Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh.
