Dr. Jitendra Singh said, the Modi government is committed to bring in maximum transparency and therefore, facilitating easy and conducive functioning of the office of Chief Information Commissioner is a step in that direction.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, the emphasis on e-governance and placing all the relevant information in public domain has considerably improved transparency as well as accountability. As far as Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) is concerned, many of the orders relating to promotions and empanelments of the officers reach the concerned officer through the website even before a formal notification has been issued, he added.
Refuting the criticism in certain quarters that there is undue delay in disposing the RTI applications, Dr. Jitendra Singh said that a mechanism will be evolved in course of time for early disposal of RTI applications. The very fact that the RTI applications are increasing day by day is also a tribute to healthy democratic functioning and the readiness of the government to respond to every request for information to be placed in public domain, he observed.

As per scheme, pensioner is required to apply within 6 months from the date of retirement if he/she wants to become member of the ESIC-PMS.
Representations from the pensioners through RD/MS and All India Pensioners Federation have been received at Hqrs. office requesting therein to allow them to join ESIC-PMS as they could not join earlier, due to certain reasons.
Considering the requests on humanitarian grounds, the Director General, in exercise of his power under Rule 10 of ESIC-PMS has allowed those pensioners who could not enroll under the scheme, one more opportunity for enrollment w.e.f. 10.06.2015 to 31.08.2015. All the instructions issued earlier may be followed strictly.
It is requested to upload the same on your website and give wide publicity mentioning the period of the opportunity extended for enrolment.
This issues with the approval of Director General.
