DoPT

Bureaucratic reform

In what must be a particularly galling development for the entire bureaucracy, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has floated a Request for Proposal (RFP) for hiring a private consultant, with experience in human relations (HR) consulting and competency enhancement, to design and develop a Framework of Roles, Activities and Competencies (FRAC) for civil servants so that the country can have a “fit-forfuture civil service.”

RTI portal functioning smoothly, says DoPT amid concerns over OTP feature

Responding to issues reported by some users, the DoPT clarified that the OTP feature, introduced on January 2, was implemented to authenticate users and protect sensitive personal information included in RTI applications. By ensuring only authorised access, the measure strengthens cybersecurity and aligns with best practices.
