Bihar govt to digitally monitor work of IPS officers in state

The IPS officers serving in Bihar are now going to have a tough time as the state government has devised a new strategy to scrutinize their work. Now their work will be monitored digitally by the government, and their training and assessment will be done through the IGOT Karmayogi portal. It has been made mandatory.

Under the new system, each officer will be required to complete a designated course based on their service period and update their complete information on the portal. Completing the course will be mandatory; failure to do so will affect their Annual Performance Appraisal/Assessment Report (APAR). This will force officers to attend training on time.

In this way, every IPS officer in Bihar now will have a complete online record or digital profile. This will provide the government with constant information about their status.

It has been done following the central government’s directive with an aim to provide qualified officers with better opportunities for advancement in their careers.

According to sources, this will include information such as service description, cadre, training status, and job performance. This will provide the government with direct information about each officer’s activities and capabilities.

This is not all, but their work and record will now play a crucial role in central deputation, special postings, and promotions. This will provide qualified officers with a better opportunity for advancement. This will have a major impact on the Annual Confidential Report.

If an IPS officer fails to complete the course on time or update his or her profile, his or her evaluation will be affected. This means that the scope for negligence will be reduced and the pressure on officers to perform better will increase. Digital monitoring will also make it easier for the government to determine which officer to assign to which responsibility.

Furthermore, evaluations will now be conducted online (digitally) instead of on paper, increasing transparency and reducing irregularities. Postings and promotions will also now be based on performance and record.

According to reports, record-based decisions will now be made regarding postings and promotions, as the government believes this system will increase transparency in administration, speed up work, and ensure accountability of top police officials of the state.
