The Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari received the CMD of Indian Register Quality Systems (IRQS) here on Monday.
On the occasion, Gadkari underscored the importance of administrative efficiency as the most vital ingredient for the successful working of an organization. He said that a quick and transparent decision making process, backed by decentralised power structure and a system of performance audit would go a long way in ensuring that departments are able to achieve the development work that they set out to do.
The ISO certificate will be applicable to all the wings of the ministry at the head quarters at New Delhi, including the offices of the union minister and minister of state, covering more than 700 employees.
In order to get the ISO certificate the ministry developed its Quality Manual and Standard Operating Procedures in accordance with the requirements of ISO standards.
After the internal audit by the Ministry, the certificating body appointed by Quality Council of India conducted two stages audit and found the quality management system of the ministry for performing its services to the citizens of India in accordance with the ISO standards. (KNN Bureau)
