time basis and to bring transparency
The Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for
Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public
Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr.Jitendra Singh launched the
Employees Online (EO) App here today. EO App is a mobile application of the
Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT), Ministry of Personnel, Public
Grievances and Pensions.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr.Jitendra Singh said that it is
the need of the hour to bring in high-tech systems in the governance. Since
Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) is the R&D wing of the
Government, it acts as a role model to other Ministries/ Departments, he added.
He said that, as mobile phones are virtually available to all in the country,
it is essential that we move to a mobile platform, which is easily accessible
anytime, anywhere. Dr. Jitendra Singh said that the EO App has been developed
keeping in mind the spirit of maximum Governance, minimum Government.
“The application would enable its users, which may include
officers, media persons and all stakeholders to stay updated on real time basis
with appointments and postings approved by the Appointments Committee of the
Cabinet (ACC) and vacancies at senior level in the Government of India.
By eliminating the information asymmetry in this regard, the
EO App will reduce speculations regarding transfers and postings in the
Government of India and will make the system completely transparent as all the
relevant orders and notifications will now be instantly available in the public
domain.
This is an effective management tool which also empowers the
IAS officers on Pan India basis and officers serving under Central Staffing
Scheme by providing their personal records like Annual Performance Appraisal
Report (APAR),Immovable Property Return (IPR), Executive Record (ER) sheet
through secured NIC login Id and Password”.
Android users can download the application from the Google
Play Store using DoPT as the keyword for searching the App. The iOS version of
the application will be released shortly.
Secretary to PM Shri Bhaskar Khulbe, Secretary DoPT Shri
B.P.Sharma, Establishment Officer Shri Rajiv Kumar, DG, NIC Ms. Neeta Verma,
Officers from PMO, Cabinet Secretariat and other senior officers of DoPT were
