The five main points of this campaign are – disposal of pending complaints, disposal of pending cases, operation of capacity building programs for officers and employees, effective management of assets and making the working system more modern and transparent by promoting digital initiatives.
The Vigilance Department has made several efforts to improve the functioning of SECI. For example – Third party testing for improvement in coal quality, development of a transparent system through CCTV surveillance and real time supervision. SOP based bill processing, FIFO clearance and SAP based tracking have been implemented in the procurement processes. Machines have been verified and digital tagging has been done to strengthen asset management. Operations and monitoring have been made more effective and transparent through digital platforms like Jatayu Dashboard, Digicol and Integrated Command and Control Center.
