UNNATI Unified New Age National Training Institute

One of the CBC mandates is establishing standards for quality assurance and benchmarking across Training Institutions (TIs). UNNATI (Unified New-Age National Training Institutions) portal functions as a unified digital backbone for TIs across the country which integrates accreditation, institutional intelligence, resource exchange and performance analytics into a single, collaborative national platform aligned with the vision of Mission Karmayogi and thelong-term aspirationof Viksit Bharat @2047. The national training ecosystem comprises multiple categories of Training Institutions, each with a defined mandate and governance structure such as:

Central Training Institutes (CTIs)

CTIs function under Ministries of the Government of India and are mandated to provide training to officers of Organised Group 'A' services. There are 25 CTIs across sectors. They are centrally administered, service-specific institutions that conduct induction, in-service and mid-career training for their respective cadres.

Administrative Training Institutes (ATIs)

ATIs are apex State-level institutions responsible for capacity building of State Government officials. They serve as the principal training arm of State Governments and conduct induction training for State Civil Services, mid-career programmes, thematic governance courses, and district-level administration training.

Central Domain Training Institutes (CDTIs)

CDTIs are centrally administered institutions categorized by sectoral or thematic specialization such as Health, Finance, Rural Development, Digital Governance, Security, Education, Environment, etc. They focus on domain-specific training aligned with national priorities.

State Domain Training Institutes (SDTIs)

SDTIs are State Government-owned specialised institutions focused on a single vertical or sector within the state (for example, state forestry or agriculture). They provide sector-specific training to state officers within their respective domain.

Central Regional Training Institutions (CRTIs)

These are regional arms of Central Training Institutions that serve multiple states within a geographic region. They operate under central administrative control while delivering regionally contextualized training.

State Regional Training Centres (SRTIs)

These are decentralised training centres functioning under State Governments. They report to the ATI or SDTI and ensure zonal or district-level training delivery within the state.

Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) Training Academies

PSU academies are government-owned corporate training institutions established under the Companies Act or special statutes. They focus on induction, technical skill development, leadership training, regulatory compliance and operational excellence aligned with their sectoral mandate.

Three Core Objectives
