WHAT IS A CENTRE FOR COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT
Centre for Competency Development is an innovative project established as a part of celebrating CIGI's two decades of meaningful intervention in empowering the weaker segments of society. In 2016 CIGI took the initiative to set up 100 Centres for Competency Development (Mission 100C4C) at grassroots level in various parts of the state. The idea of Mission 100C4C is an end result of deliberations and constant dialogues among think tanks of CIGI on lack of competence in students and job seekers from all streams who are pursuing their higher studies or looking for a job.
The project was built on a belief that the accomplishment of this mission would provide a solution for this affecting condition and lead to a massive transformation in the current occupational and educational state of the community. By 2019, CIGI successfully completed this mission of implementing 100 centres and the project is still continuing through various activities for developing competence among the community.
A Centre for Competition instituted under C4C is basically an independent centre accredited to and monitored by CIGI and is envisioned to enhance the competency of students, nurture their talent, develop their skills, and direct them in their pursuit of better life and career.
As the pandemic swept through the globe, we decided to create a novel model of competency development through ‘C-Circle’s (Competency Circles’. The C-Cirlce’s are WhatsApp based online groups through which regular aspirants are prepared to face competitive examinations. This is done through regular updates of study materials and daily, week and monthly tests.
Started in 2020, our mission was, ‘1000 C-Circles’ , which was accomplished in a short span of time with people from across the state joining this initiative.
