Bhubaneswar, August 8: In a significant decision, the new BJP government in Odisha on Wednesday removed ‘5T charter’ and ‘Mo Sarkar’ policies of the previous BJD government.
“Evaluation based on 5T charter and Mo Sarkar does have any requirement in the present situation for CCR/PAR of all government (A,B,C) category employees. Therefore, the state government has taken a policy decision to restore CCR/PAR prevailing before 2019-20 for all categories of employees from 2024-25,” a letter issued by additional secretary of the General Administration and Public Grievance department Shashanka Sekhar Das stated.
Das issued the letter to all additional chief secretaries, principal secretaries and secretaries on Wednesday.
In 2019, the then chief minister Naveen Patnaik had created 5T initiative and appointed his most trusted bureaucrat VK Pandian as its secretary that helped Pandian to control all other secretaries. Later, in the same yaer the BJD government created Mo Sarkar system, under which the chief minister and other ministers talked to common citizens to seek their feedback on the kind of response and service they received after they visited government facilities.
The BJD government had decided to reflect the implementation of 5T charter and Mo Sarkar initiatives in the PAR of different categories of government employees by a notification issued on July 31, 2019.
