In order to bring all the physical APARs of CSS officers into the online SPARROW system, it has been decided to digitalize the APARs of CSS officers and migrate them into SPARROW portal in a phased manner. The APARs of US and above are already available in CS-I Division, whereas the APAR dossiers of ASO and SOs are maintained in respective cadre units.

4. The legacy APARs of US and above officers are already being digitized. In the next stage, APARs of SOs will be taken up for digitization. As a part of this activity, in the first instant APARs of the senior most SOs belonging to Select List 2011 and 2012 and earlier SLs will be taken up.
