| Govt Deptts fail to submit RFD yet again | | | Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, Feb 19: With the fiscal year 2017-2018 nearing end, government is unlikely to check accurate progress of the state in view of non-submitting of Results Framework Document(RFD) by most of the departments.
Government has directed departments several times to submit RFD annually in the month of January. However, most of the departments did not pay any heed by not submitting the RFD to the government.
"When departments don't submit RFD then how can government check the progress of the state," an official of the Finance Department, said.
The official said that eventhough only few weeks are left of the current fiscal, departments failed to submit RFD so far.
The official said that the directives have been issued to departmental heads to submit the RFD or "face action". "But no action has been taken so far," the official said.
He said that departments were warned of action if they failed to prepare RFD to evaluate their performances and to ensure transparency in running the departments.
The state government launched RFD in December 2012 that was aimed to judge the performance of departments and to bring transparency in the functioning of the government.
As per the guidelines, the administrative secretaries have to evaluate performance of their departments under RFD.
Official sources, said it has been found in the past that there was lack of coordination between various departments for not seeking concurrence from the planning, finance and monitoring departments before starting various developmental schemes. "In some works, funds have got lapsed which remained unutilized due to mismanagement of officials," an official of planning department said. "Once the departments submit their RFD report, the planning, development and monitoring department will prepare its own report to check the progress of development in the state," he added.
Planning development and monitoring department acts as a nodal agency to look after the implementation of planning process in the state. This department has also been entrusted with the task of maintaining active liaison with the government of India, especially with the NITI Aayog to ensure effective implementation of centrally sponsored schemes in the state. |
