KILA gets Capacity Building Commission accreditation

The Hindu16-05-2025
The Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA), under the Department of Local Self-Governments, has received accreditation from the Capacity Building Commission (CBC). This recognition places KILA among a select group of 182 institutions nationwide to be accredited under the Mission Karmayogi initiative.
Rigorous evaluation
The CBC accreditation is awarded after rigorous evaluation of training excellence, needs assessment, course design, faculty expertise, infrastructure, governance systems, trainee support, evaluation mechanisms, and institutional collaboration.
KILA is the first civil service training institution in Kerala to achieve this recognition.
Established in April 2021, the CBC has been actively working to strengthen India's training ecosystem. Its accreditation framework, National Standards for Civil Services Training Institutions (NSCSTI), not only sets baseline benchmarks but also aligns institutions with global best practices.
With this accreditation, KILA will gain access to CBC's Quality Improvement Plan (QIP), enabling it to design and deliver high-impact training programmes. It also opens doors for KILA to showcase Kerala's development model and local governance success stories at the national level.
Training programmes
The recognition further positions KILA to conduct training programmes across States, host trainees from other parts of the country, and implement projects beyond the State. The accreditation was granted following an on-site assessment by the CBC on May 15 and 16.
The official certificate was received by KILA's Director General A. Nizamuddin.
