Mizoram Government Partners with Eight Banks to Launch 'One Department, One Bank' System
The Mizoram government signed agreements with eight banks to implement the 'One Department, One Bank' (ODOB) system, aiming to enhance financial oversight, transparency, and public fund management. Initially covering eight government departments, the initiative addresses concerns from Comptroller and Auditor General reports about funds held in Drawing and Disbursing Officers' accounts without full Finance Department oversight. Chief Minister Lalduhoma highlighted the system's role in improving monitoring and thanked the participating banks, which include major national and regional banks.
