Jammu and Kashmir Chief Secretary Arun Kumar Mehta has praised the role of IT Department in addressing the challenge and bringing efficiency to the functioning of the government through 675 online services.

He said the move has brought transparency to the system.

He made the remark while addressing an event to mark the‘Corruption Free J&K Day’.

During this event the Chief Secretary highlighted the role of IT tools in weeding out corruption, reports Kashmir Observer.

He maintained that technology is greatest enabler in creating an era of efficiency, fairness and equity for all.

The Chief Secretary went on to elucidate that the financial discipline brought in by BEAMS has ensured that no work which does meet the criteria of e-tendering, Administrative Approval, Technology Sanction, and photographic evidence can be paid which has accelerated the completion of projects by 10 times.

BEAMS has been the engine of change in J&K, drastically reducing arbitrariness and corruption.

He mentioned that the cost of projects has reduced significantly due to competitiveness.
