In a bid to enhance digital efficiency and secure handling of online documentation, the government has launched a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) training program specifically for public sector employees. This initiative aims to equip government staff with the necessary skills to use DSCs effectively for official communications, approvals, and regulatory submissions across various departments and portals. The program is part of the broader push to improve digital literacy and ensure secure digital governance practices.

The training modules will cover key topics such as DSC usage protocols, token management, e-filing processes, and cybersecurity awareness, enabling staff to seamlessly incorporate DSCs into their daily workflows. The sessions will also include hands-on demonstrations, troubleshooting tips, and updates on compliance requirements for DSCs under the Information Technology Act, 2000. By focusing on practical knowledge, the initiative aims to reduce errors, misuse, and technical delays in digital transactions.

Officials believe that empowering government personnel with DSC knowledge will promote faster decision-making, enhance accountability, and support the transition to paperless administration. The program is expected to be rolled out in phases across ministries, state departments, and public agencies. Employees are encouraged to actively participate and ensure they are well-prepared for secure digital operations in line with the country’s evolving e-governance standards.
