2. Wherever physical classes have been permitted by the State Governments, the DC of the region and Principal should ensure that appropriate COVID protocol is maintained. In case of suspension of classes as per the COVID protocol, KVS (HQ) should invariably be informed.

SPARSH – System for Pension Administration (Raksha)

  • Initiation and Sanction
  • Pension Computation and Revision
  • Pensioner Identification
  • Pension Disbursement
  • Budgeting
  • Accounting & Reconciliation
  • Reporting
  • Audit & Control
  • User Management and Administration
  • Master Data Management
  • MIS and Dashboards
  • Legal Case Management
  • Dak Management

The major benefits envisaged to accrue upon implementation of SPARSH are:

  • Timely and correct payment to the pensioners
  • Accurate and real time status of pension budget
  • Multiple channels for pensioners to avail different departmental services
    • Portal
    • Mobile App
    • Service Centres
  • Call Centre
  • Structured and SLA based grievance redressal mechanism

With an objective of eliminating the very cause of grievances over a period of time.
