New Delhi, Aug. 1 -- The government has onboarded the privately-run DPI Academy to train public officials in the use of digital public infrastructure. The academy's courses-delivered by former top bureaucrats-aim to strengthen digital policy capacity across government, according to a press release.

The move comes through a collaboration between Karmayogi Bharat-a special purpose vehicle under the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT)-and the DPI Academy. The latter is backed by policy think tank Artha Global and the non-profit eGov Foundation.
