Explanation:

The Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC) has been conferred with the prestigious CSI-Nihilent "Best E-Governance Project Award" for its online portal "Integrated Solution for Recruitments" for the year 2017. This award recognises the efforts of the commission to have fair and transparent recruitments through its online portal. It may also be added that the working procedures of PPSC were also audited by a study team from the Azim Premji University, Bangalore. This audit was done on the orders of the Administrative Reforms Committee aimed at bringing out the best working practices among the State Public Service Commissions. Thereafter, the PPSC was presented as a case study on best practices to be followed by the Public Service Commission of the country in the symposium held in 2017.
