Explanation:

The Jammu and Kashmir General Administration Department (JKGAD) in recent months has made progressive changes to the system of office culture in Jammu and Kashmir by introducing various e-Governance initiatives, bringing efficiency in disposal of work here.

With the adoption of e-Office, a Simplified, Responsive, Effective and Transparent paperless working culture in most of the Government offices of Jammu and Kashmir has been established.

Moreover, to bring efficiency in the work of officers of J&K Administration, the General Administration Department also introduced the Smart Performance Appraisal Report Recording Online Window (SPARROW) system to write and track Annual Performance Reports (APRs) of these officers.

The main purpose of introducing this unique system is to facilitate timely filling of APRs electronically in a way that is not only user friendly but also allows to fill the details from anywhere anytime as per the convenience of officers.

The system is also expected to reduce delays in submission of completely filled APRs.
