ADPI assumes importance because the government quickly increases the use of tools such as Aadhar, Diksha and Cowin, at a time when the world is focused on digital public policy.
Former Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) ARUNA Sundarajan, RS Sharma, Ajay Sawhney and J. Satyanarayan, along with other former bureaucrats, will be trained by bureaucrats under these courses.

The first course focused on the foundations of DPI and implementation strategy, lived live after a memorandum of understanding (MO) signed in Delhi 30 July 2025 between Karmayogi Bharat and DPI Academy.
J. Satyanarayan, who chaired the DPI Academy and previously served as Minister of Meity and chairman of the unique India (Uida) identification body, issued an inauguration course and said:
“One of our key reports is that digital public infrastructure is a means – not the end – on the way of digital transformation. Our goal is to help civil servants understand that DPI is an essential tool that can be applied across sectors to achieve meaningful results.”

Viraj Tyagi, CEO of the Egov Foundation, noted that the curriculum is designed to exceed the theory:
“The courses go beyond the framework of conceptual framework, because together we bring expertise from the implementation of DPI projects with governments around the world.”
He added that case studies in the real world will be used to bridge theory and practice.
The Igot portal began in 2018, followed by Kickstarter of Mission Karmayogi in 2020, Dopt said. He added that the aim of the Karmayogi mission is to initially train 46 central government officers and finally cover 1.5 Crore government officials in medium, state and municipal governments.
