e-Service Book Launched: Central Govt Boosts Efficiency with Digital Records
In a landmark move to enhance transparency and efficiency, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has mandated the adoption of e-Service Books across all central ministries and departments.
The central government took a transformative step to enhance administrative efficiency by mandating e-Service Books across all ministries and departments. Directed by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), this initiative shifts service-related records of government employees to the e-HRMS 2.0 portal. The move aims to replace cumbersome paper-based systems, ensuring greater transparency, accountability, and streamlined operations in India’s vast bureaucratic framework.
e-Service Book Launched
The e-Service Book, integrated into the e-HRMS 2.0 portal, will digitally record critical employee data, including service history, promotions, transfers, and leave details. Declared the official record, this digital system eliminates reliance on physical files prone to loss or damage. The portal’s centralized database allows real-time access for authorized personnel, reducing delays in retrieving information and enabling faster decision-making across ministries, from finance to defense.
All Central Ministries to adopt e-Service Book
By digitizing records, the e-Service Book ensures robust security through encrypted storage, safeguarding sensitive employee information against unauthorized access. The system’s user-friendly interface allows employees to view and update their details securely, fostering accountability. Additionally, the digital format minimizes paperwork, cutting administrative costs and supporting the government’s eco-friendly initiatives. This shift also reduces errors common in manual record-keeping, enhancing overall accuracy.
Govt Employees' Records Go Online
The adoption of e-Service Books is set to accelerate administrative tasks like pension processing, performance appraisals, and transfers, which often face delays due to scattered records. This reform aligns with the government’s Digital India vision, aiming to modernize governance and improve public service delivery.
Move to Streamline Employee Data Management
The e-Service Book initiative marks a significant milestone in India’s journey toward digital administration. By prioritizing efficiency, security, and transparency, the DoPT’s directive sets a precedent for modern governance, promising to benefit millions of government employees and streamline operations across the nation’s administrative machinery.
