ABSTRACT
The paper submitsthat an outcome oriented capacity development intervention would be the key deciding factor for taking India through Digital transformation. In absence of relevant competencies and adequately trained manpower, the momentum and progress of ambitious Digital India initiative will not reach its intended outcome. There is an urgent need for bridging the talent gap between the industry standard and Public sector. E-Governance Competency Framework developed by Ministry of Electronics & IT (MeitY), Government of India is a step in the right direction. This article looks at the capacity development need for digital India and the significant role that competency framework with the objective of -- 'Deploy right & Develop right' can play in creating a level playing field for Public sector to meet Industry and global standard. The sections in the article look at the problem statement, international perspective, overview of the framework, recommendation for usage and adoption, issues and challenges and the summary.
