- Who's affected: Eight North-Eastern state training institutes
- When: Guwahati summit on October 9, 2026
- Digital anchor: UNNATI portal linking 700+ institutes
Civil service academies across the North-East are preparing for a structural pivot away from generic administrative lectures. On October 9, 2026, Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma will inaugurate the second regional workshop of Sādhana Śrinkhla in Guwahati, gathering institutional leaders from all eight northeastern states to redesign public administration training.
Organized by the Capacity Building Commission, the summit targets training centers across Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura. The core agenda pushes institutes to abandon traditional, supply-driven courses in favor of demand-responsive, role-based capacity building. Participating states will draft localized roadmaps addressing institutional governance, faculty capabilities, and the integration of artificial intelligence.
This regional drive forms part of a four-workshop national rollout following an initial session in Vijayawada. Implementation will anchor to the Unified New-Age National Training Initiative, or UNNATI portal. By connecting more than 700 institutes nationwide, the platform enables state academies to match departmental skill shortages directly with shared curriculum resources.
