Kohima, July 18 (MExN): Personal Information Management System (PIMS) is a web-enabled personnel management system under the State Government with the purpose of tracking and recording the service records of all government employees from the date of their joining into service till they retire.
A report from the DIPR stated that in order to promote e-governance initiative and to provide transparency of the employee's profile, the State Government has decided to make basic PIMS data public. Further, State Government employees or the public will be able to access the 10 select open fields of government employee's profiles from the website of PIMS, P & AR Department by logging in at www.nglemployeedirectory.in. Discrepancies in data, if any, must be brought to the notice of the PIMS Cell, P&AR Department through the concerned departmental Nodal Officer only.
An Office Memorandum from P&AR informed that the Departments, while requisitioning posts to NPSC/Departmental Recruitment Board (DRB), should indicate the name and employee code of PIMS against each vacancy or enclose a copy of the post creation order in the case of new posts in the requisition format. The NPSC/DRB in turn must use the said code while making recommendations for appointment to the Department concerned. It also reiterated to all Departments that all service related orders issued by any Departments such as appointment, transfer & posting, promotion, retirement orders must reflect the PIMS code of the employee and a copy must be endorsed to the PIMS Cell, P&AR Department.
It is observed that many new HODs need to get themselves familiarized to PIMS for better governance and maintenance of the Department's employee, utilising the System. The PIMS Cell in each Directorate should also be strengthened and the Nodal Officers in- charge of the System should ensure that the employee datas are up-to-date in the system.
Further, as per Office Memorandum No. AR-5/ASSO/98 dated July 6, 2016, appointment on contractual basis, ad-hoc, fixed, casual, work-charged etc are banned wef June 6, 2016. However, many departments are still sending such proposals for registering in the PIMS in defiance to the said Office Memorandum. It is, therefore reiterated that the PIMS Cell shall not entertain such appointments for registration.
