A nine-day intensive Capacity Building Training (CBT) programme for nearly 720 Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS), including supervisors and sardars of the Nagaland Civil Secretariat, commenced on Monday at the Secretariat in Kohima.
According to DIPR report, the training organised by the Secretariat Administration Branch ‘B’ of the Home Department in collaboration with Living For Environment (LiFE), a non-governmental organisation promoting sustainable practices, seeks to enhance professional standards and operational efficiency of the Secretariat’s support staff. The curriculum has been designed on the basis of a 2019 waste assessment study conducted by LiFE and incorporates Swachh Office protocols. It also aligns with the amended Solid Waste Management Rules, 2026, which will come into effect from April 1.
Participants will undergo sessions on modern sanitation and waste management practices, with emphasis on effective segregation and environmentally responsible disposal methods. Technical aspects such as proper use and maintenance of cleaning equipment will also be covered to ensure a hygienic workplace. Besides sanitation, the programme will focus on professional conduct, office etiquette, workplace discipline and service standards to promote efficiency. Practical guidance on personal hygiene and safety measures will also be imparted to safeguard health and well-being.
Following the classroom sessions, practical training will begin in March. During this phase, the LiFE team will assess participants’ understanding, monitor implementation of new practices and identify areas requiring improvement.
