    New Delhi, September 26: The Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya National Academy of Social Security (PDUNASS), New Delhi Saturday concluded a three-week Orientation Training Programme for newly promoted Assistant Provident Fund Commissioners (APFCs). A statement issued here said that the valedictory session was graced by  Ramesh Krishnamurthi, Central Provident Fund Commissioner (CPFC), who commended the Academy’s efforts in preparing the next generation of EPFO officers for leadership rooted in knowledge, empathy and public service values. Reflecting on their experience, one of the trainees said: “We are returning to our workplaces with renewed perspective and deeper insights gained through immersive classroom sessions and dynamic team-building activities. The training covered critical themes such as customer-centric approach, ethics, compassion, landmark court judgments, audio-visual learning and design thinking — each leaving a lasting impact.” The trainee also expressed gratitude to Kumar Rohit, Additional Central P.F. Commissioner (Hq) and Director, PDUNASS, for designing a well-rounded and engaging course structure. In his address, Ramesh Krishnamurthi congratulated the officer trainees for their enthusiastic participation and praised PDUNASS for curating a holistic training experience. He acknowledged the leadership of Shri Kumar Rohit and the contributions of the faculty and staff who facilitated the programme. He encouraged the officers to uphold EPFO’s core values of integrity, accountability, and empathy, especially in their service to over 30 crore subscribers. On the occasion, the CPFC also released a series of booklets authored by the officer trainees, which included book reviews, creative culinary experiments under the “Delicious Initiative”, and reflections on outbound training experiences. He further highlighted key organisational developments, particularly the rollout of the upgraded Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR) system. The revamped platform introduces advanced validations for EPS membership, international worker status, and compliance metrics. It also enables automatic calculation of damages and interest under Sections 7Q and 14B, aiming to reduce errors and streamline enforcement processes. The orientation programme thus concluded with a renewed commitment among the APFCs to strengthen EPFO’s service delivery and uphold its mission of securing the future of millions of workers across the country.
