New Delhi, Nov. 3 -- The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is looking to implement a new system where its 2.2 lakh personnel will be able to request leave, weekly off and duty changes using a mobile phone.

As part of a two year digital transformation initiative, the CISF will implement an integrated system with the help of the Digital India Corporation (DIC) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. The e-Anurodh portal has been implemented and enables personnel to submit everyday requests on 40-50 categories.

The integration of over 40 IT modules will streamline the process giving personnel a one-stop shop. Personnel will be able to view the status of their request and get automatic alerts. This will cut down on the time spent on admin for personnel working at airports, industrial sites and other critical establishments.

The CISF has seen a high take up of its digital initiatives. The leave management system has had over 95 lakh transactions. The e-Grievance portal has seen 53,043 of the 55,046 complaints resolved.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with DIC.

The project will be implemented over 3 months with an audit period followed by integration over the next 2 years.

The new system will have a dashboard for senior officers to view personnel requests in real time. It will also allow them to see manpower and training needs.
