The Government of India launched the groundbreaking Learning Management System (LMS) in e-Governance initiative as part of the Digital India Programme in 2015 with the goal of using IT as a growth engine to convert India into a knowledge economy and digitally empowered society. A software program called a learning management system (LMS) is used to administer, record, track, report and provide training programs and electronic courses, or e-learning.

As a tool for increasing capacity, LMS makes it easier to manage training and e-learning for a range of government employees at the federal, state, and union territory levels. Its goal is to improve users knowledge and abilities in accordance with the roles that the e-Governance Competency Framework (eGCF) envisions for them.
