Maharashtra Pollution Control Board Secures 5th Rank In CM’s 150-Day e-Governance Evaluation

The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) has secured the fifth rank in the prestigious e-Governance evaluation conducted under the Hon'ble Chief Minister's 150-Day Programme.

Competing with 97 boards, corporations and authorities across Maharashtra, MPCB recorded a strong performance in the e-Governance category analysis.

This achievement reflects the Board's sustained commitment to digital transformation, technology-driven administration and citizen-centric service delivery, aimed at enhancing transparency and accountability for stakeholders across the state.

Leadership Drives MPCB's Digital Governance Push

The success has been largely attributed to the leadership of the Hon'ble Member Secretary, Mr. M. Devender Singh, IAS, who led the presentation of MPCB's e-Governance initiatives during the evaluation process and aligned the Board's digital roadmap with the objectives of the Chief Minister's programme.

"The recognition achieved under the 150-Day Programme reflects the collective efforts of our officers and staff in strengthening digital systems, improving processes and delivering transparent services to citizens," said Hon'ble Member Secretary, Mr. M. Devender Singh, IAS. "Our focus has remained on leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and accountability across the organisation."

Chairman's Guidance Strengthens Coordination and Compliance

The continuous guidance and supervision of the Hon'ble Chairman, Mr. Siddheshji Kadam, provided crucial support to the IT Department and other teams involved in the evaluation. His oversight ensured effective coordination during audits, data analysis and technical presentations, helping the Board meet all stringent assessment criteria.

"Securing a position among the top five is a source of motivation for the entire Board and reinforces our commitment to strengthening the organisation's mission and vision," said Hon'ble Chairman, Mr. Siddheshji Kadam. "We will continue to accelerate e-Governance reforms and government process reengineering to set higher benchmarks in transparent, efficient and accessible public service delivery."

Teamwide Effort Behind the Recognition

The achievement is also credited to the dedicated efforts of heads of departments, officers and staff across all branches of MPCB. Their work in ensuring data readiness, strengthening internal systems and improving process efficiency played a key role in earning this recognition.

This noteworthy accomplishment has received congratulations from various quarters and further motivates the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board to deepen its digital governance initiatives in the coming period.
