Haryana to Digitize Annual Confidential Report System by April 2027

The Haryana government plans to replace the manual Annual Confidential Report (ACR) system with a fully digital performance monitoring system by April 2027. Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi has directed all departments to develop new ACR formats that objectively record employees' work and achievements. An online platform, to be developed by the National Informatics Centre or a designated team, will integrate with the HRMS portal for real-time assessments. A performance-based 'Honour Board' will also be created to display employee rankings, aiming to enhance transparency, accountability, and administrative efficiency.
