In a first, Govt-run mobile app to tell you about appointments

NEW DELHI: From top level appointments in Government to other key orders from the Personnel Ministry, all these things will now be available to people on a first-of-its-kind mobile application developed by the Centre.

Besides these, over 4,900 IAS officers working across the country will be able to access details of their Annual Performance Appraisal Reports (APAR), Immovable Property Returns (IPR), postings, domestic and foreign training, among others, at their finger tip.

Union Minister Jitendra Singh today launched the mobile app–Employees Online (EO)– at a function attended by Bhaskar Khulbe, Secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, B P Sharma, Secretary, Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) and Rajiv Kumar, Establishment Officer, among others.

“The application is one more step towards transparency and e-governance. It will also check on the number of repeated RTI applications filed by citizens to seek governance-related information as most of the details will be put online for public in a real-time basis,” said Singh, Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions.
