Subject: Implementation of IVth Phase of SPARROW (Online APAR) for processing of APAR for remaining posts in DAD w.e.f. reporting year 2025-26.
SPARROW (Smart Performance Appraisal Report Recording Online Window) has been implemented in a phased manner in the Department. Initially, the SPARROW portal was made operational for Group ‘A’ IDAS Officers of the Department in Phase-I during the year 2017. Subsequently, the project was implemented for the then Group ‘B’ Gazetted Officers of the Department (SAO/AO/AAO) in Phase-II w.e.f. Reporting Year 2017-18. Thereafter, in Phase-III, SPARROW was implemented for Senior Auditors and Auditors of the Department w.e.f. reporting Year 2020-21.
2. Now, it has been decided by the Competent Authority to implement the ivth Phase of the SPARROW w.e.f. reporting year 2025-26 for all remaining categories of employees who are presently not on-board the SPARROW portal. This will cover AD (OL), Supervisors (A/Cs), STO, JTO, Librarian, Clerk, DEO-B & C, PPS, SPS, PS, Steno-I & II, Drivers, MTS and Wet Canteen employees, etc. in DAD.
3. Accordingly, PCsDA/CsDA are requested to obtain and compile the data in respect of the above categories of employees so that WEBVPN accounts may be created by the HQrs Office in consultation with NIC. The format for collection of data is enclosed as Annexure ‘A’ to this letter. The compiled data may be furnished in an Excel sheet and the soft copy of the same may also be forwarded to 11015 Office through email at [email protected] in latest by 27.02.2026.
4. It may also be ensured that all out efforts are made at PCSDA/CSDA level to ensure that no employee is left out of the exercise. The data so collected should be free from errors, especially with regard to Account Number, Mobile Number and Email ID of the employees. The Mobile Number provided must be linked with the NIC Email ID and Aadhaar Number of the employee to enable validation while accessing the SPARROW portal. Further instructions on the subject will follow.
5. This issues with the approval of the Competent Authority.
