For the first time in its history, the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) has conducted a 7-day intensive training programme to enhance the capacity and efficiency of newly appointed clerks. A total of 55 clerks, selected through the Staff Selection Commission examination, joined the Commission in September and participated in this structured training initiative.
A Historic Step in Skill Development
RPSC Chairman Shri Utkal Ranjan Sahu stated that it is the first time such an extensive training programme has been organised for newly recruited personnel. He emphasised that the rigorous induction training has empowered the new staff with confidence and competence for handling government work. This capacity-building initiative will help develop them as strong human resources capable of delivering excellent and reliable services to the Commission for the next 30 years and beyond.
Training Conducted Across 14 Key Subjects
RPSC Secretary Shri Ramniwas Mehta informed that training sessions were organised across 14 important topics, conducted by senior officers including Senior Deputy Secretaries, Deputy Secretaries, Assistant Secretaries, Legal Consultants, and Section Officers. To ensure clarity and address doubts, 7 revision sessions were also held.

These mentors guide the recruits on Commission procedures, rules, departmental tasks, and workflow. The progress of each trainee is periodically reported to the Commission Secretary.
A Comprehensive Orientation Into Commission Functioning
The training programme provided clear and detailed insights into the Commission’s work style, rules, and departmental processes. The examinations conducted during the training helped participants assess their understanding of rules, procedures, and administrative frameworks.
