Resentment brews against the Haryana Government’s move to upload the personal/service data of all employees of the government departments, boards, corporations, commissions as well as the autonomous bodies, including the state universities.

In a recent communique to the state’s administrative secretaries, heads of government departments, managing directors/chief administrators of boards and corporations, divisional and deputy commissioners and registrars of universities, the Haryana Chief Secretary has asked them to ensure that the employees’ data is uploaded on the Human Resources Management System (HRMS) web portal by August 31.

“The administrative secretaries shall also ensure that the salary of all employees for the month of August (to be paid in September-2021) is not released unless their data is entered in the HRMS,” states the orders.

The communique further maintains that all transfers orders shall be issued under the HRMS only, adding that the transfer orders not carrying the HRMS QR code will not only be treated as invalid, but also invite disciplinary action upon the issuing authority.

The associations of teachers as well as non-teaching employees of the state universities have termed the Haryana Government’s move as an attack on the universities’ autonomy and decided to oppose it tooth and nail.
