A two-week induction training programme for Indian Engineering Services (IES) officer trainees began at Dr MCR HRD Institute on Monday.
Director general of the institute Shashank Goel said the officer trainees would be exposed to disciplines such as economics; management; law; information and communication technology; public administration; Constitution of India; and Indian history and culture as part of the programme. Activities such as village visit, TREK and field visits will be instrumental for the officer trainees in understanding the issues relating to good governance, he added.

Mr. Anant called upon them to ensure that the data relating to the Indian economy and government initiatives is accurate, complete and consistent.
