Delhi: The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) Learning Management System, launched earlier this year, now supports twelve official Indian languages. The system offers SCORM-compliant e-learning courses. The Ministry of Commerce & Industry today announced that these courses are now available in Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odiya, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu.

The LMS features an improved user interface with libraries and a progress tracking dashboard. It includes a Four-level Buyer Certification program, allowing users to select learning paths by topic or certification level.

Prashant Kumar Singh, CEO of GeM highlighted “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.”

He also added “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.”

GeM has launched new training courses that align with international standards and cater to various languages across India. The courses are designed for Government Buyers, Sellers/Service Providers, and all GeM users, allowing them to learn at their own pace. The platform’s multilingual and interactive features ensure that users from any location or language background can effectively navigate GeM, promoting wider adoption and user trust. DeshGujarat
