An RFD provides summary of most important results that a department expects to achieve during the financial year. It is essentially a record of understanding between Minister representing the people’s mandate and the Secretary of the department responsible for implementing this mandate. The Result Framework Management System (RFMS) records the details of Vision, Mission, Functions, Objectives, Actions, Success Indicators and Targets and generates an RFD with composite score for a department which is ranked amongst other departments.

 

Mr. Navneet Kukreja, Sr. Technical Director & SIO Punjab had given the brief online overview of the application developed by NIC eGovernance Division for preparing RFD documents. Mr Ajay Malhotra PSA and Mr Anil Dogra PSA provided all technical support and guidance to MGSIPA for organizing the workshop as well as to the senior officers of Punjab Government in the practical sessions.
