Centre introduces software to catch ‘corrupt’ officers
HIGHLIGHTS
- The new system will expedite the departmental proceedings
- All documents will be stored online
- In the later phase, officers of state government will also be brought under this surveillance
NEW DELHI: Seeking to cut delays and introduce transparency in departmental proceedings against bureaucrats for alleged corruption, the government on Thursday introduced an online software that will record all processes online and use cloud-based technology to provide an interface among all stakeholders.
Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said the new system will expedite the departmental proceedings, thus ensuring that corrupt officers are brought to justice without delay even as the honest ones are spared undue harrassment and intimidation. The portal will initially be adopted in respect of IAS officers posted at the Centre but subsequently be extended to all All India Services officers as well as Group A employees serving in the Central government.
