THE government has extended the deadline for the officers applying for long term and short term programmes under DFFT scheme during 2018-19 till Friday (February 9) apparently due to Internet problems. “…a large number of officers have not been able to apply due to net related issues”, a DoPT order issued on February 6 said. Those who are eligible for the Domestic Funding of Foreign Training (DFFT) scheme include IAS, Group ‘A’ officers belonging to Central Secretariat Service (CSS) etc., and then the IPS, Indian Forest Service (IFoS) and Group ‘A’ central civil service officers during the tenure of deputation under the Central Staffing Scheme, and the courses are conducted in top global universities including…

An order issued on Tuesday said: “The last date for application for short term and long term programmes under DFFT was enhanced upto 19.01.2018 and the last date for finalization of applications by nodal officers was extended upto 06.02.2018. Keeping in view the fact that a large number of officers have not been able to apply due to net related issues, it has been decided to reopen the DFFT portal for the period from 06th to 09th Feb '18. The last date for finalization of application has also been extended to 15.02.2018”.
