Accordingly, taking necessary action for immediate redressal of grievances, Nanda asked for putting in place a transparent mechanism for handling the issues and grievances of the ST employees by the committee.

She discussed about a common platform for all complaints and inter-departmental coordination on the service matters.

It was decided that the monthly meeting of the committee to examine all the issues will be held on the 26th of every month and a sub-committee will scrutinise all the representations for the consideration of IGC, the spokesman said.

Choudhary discussed the modalities for online portal for receipt of complaints, communication with departmental nodal officers for a time-bound response, action in fake-ST certificate cases, maintenance of roaster for promotion and filling vacancies and other grievances of tribal employees.

A portal will be developed by Tribal Research Institute in coordination with the IT department for ease of management of grievances, he said.
