Fast changing technology and market dynamics during the pandemic have thrown several challenges and risks, which made capacity-building, knowledge, obtain a herculean task. Human Resource Management Department of the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has leveraged technology by offering training in a self-paced e-learning platform. Dedicated online portal facilitates on the go, anytime, anywhere learning in a self-paced manner. This project aims to provide the best training content to its employees to make them future-ready.

Employees have been able to gain knowledge pertaining to subjects cutting across 26-27 Departments and Subsidiaries of NABARD and develop expertise in their area of interest. As a behavioural nudge, an e-certificate appreciating employees for completing e-learning module is generated, and a leader-board for high scorers on the portal is created to inculcate a spirit of healthy competition among the participants.

Since then, this project has enhanced professional capacities and career growth of employees by launching 138 e-lessons for junior and middle management and 61 e-lessons for senior management officers. Overall, the project has further motivated employees and managers to learn, hone new skills and perform better.

NABARD, an active member of the Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia (ADFIAP) and the Pacific aims to promote sustainable and equitable agriculture and rural development through participative financial and non-financial interventions, innovations, technology and institutional development for securing prosperity.
