New Delhi: Government e Marketplace (GeM) has rolled out its ‘e-Learning Training Courses’ in 12 official languages to make learning easier for users across diverse language regions, a PIB press release stated.
Launched earlier this year, the new initiative – ‘e-Learning Training Courses’ – provides access to online learning courses in multiple languages. The courses have been designed to cater to the diverse user needs of government buyers, sellers, service providers, and all GeM users.
The new initiative features a progress tracking dashboard and dedicated libraries for users to explore at their own pace. It also offers a Four-level Buyer Certification programme to empower users with progressive learning and valuable certifications.
GeM CEO Prashant Kumar Singh said, “With the emphasis on utilisation of GeM for procurement by all government agencies, it was imperative that proper avenues of learning be provided to stakeholders to help them understand the policies, functionalities and navigate the portal with ease. With this ideology, the interactive & multilingual LMS has been rolled out in 12 official languages.”
The roll out of a multilingual learning tool ensures better comprehension of intricate public procurement processes, catalyzing GeM portal’s adoption among State/Local Government Buyers as well as last-mile sellers across India. Since its launch four months ago, the GeM LMS has witnessed a 32-fold increase in user registration with over 4,000 users enrolled in various courses. More than 600 Buyer certificates have also been issued in this period of time.
