NEW DELHI: A team of seven IAS and other officials which showed "extraordinary performance" in carrying out relief and rehabilitation work during the devastating 2005 earthquake in Jammu and Kashmir has been selected for the Prime Minister's Awards for Excellence in Public Administration.
B B Vyas, IAS officer, received the award of Rs five lakh, a medal and citation from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on behalf of the team on Civil Services Day today.
"By actively involving various stakeholders, coordinating and networking with civilian departments, police, army, para-military forces and NGOs, the officers saved several lives by quickly evacuating and treating the injured," the citation said.
Deputation of judicial officers for working in Lok Adalats for on-the-spot resolution of disputes regarding entitlements and inheritance, use of mobile bank-teams and vigilance squads for settling claims and disbursement of compensation in a transparent manner were part of the innovative practices that reinforced the effectiveness of relief, it said.
A team of 28 officers at the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) has been chosen for bringing a revolutionary change in the efficiency, effectiveness and performance of the Indian Railways through development and implementation of a computerised Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS).
J K Tripathy, Inspector General of Police in Tamil Nadu has been awarded for instituting "Community Policing" which brought down crime rates considerably.
