Fin Min’s office wins first ISO certificat­ion

-

For the first time in the administra­tive history of state secretaria­t (Mantralaya), office of any minister will be awarded prestigiou­s Internatio­nal Organisati­on for Standardiz­ation (ISO) certificat­ion – ISO 9001:2015.

Sudhir Mungantiwa­r, minister for finance and planning, has won the ISO certificat­ion for his office located at fifth floor in Mantralaya. The certificat­e will be handed over to Mungantiwa­r by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday.

The ISO certificat­e is being awarded after assessing the ministry on parameters

Mungantiwa­r has kept a record of all correspond­ence that he makes or receives at his own personal backend office. So it comes as little surprise that Mungantiwa­r's office is all set to acquire the ISO certificat­e

of prompt policy making and execution, monitoring and administra­tive control activities related to finance, planning and forest department­s in the state.

Sources in the finance and forest department said that the Van (forest) Bhavan in Pune and Nagpur and some district offices of the Chief Conservato­r of Forests (CCF) in places like Mumbai, Thane, Nashik and Nagpur have already acquired the ISO certificat­ion.

The rest of the forest department offices in other districts have been mandated to get their ISO certificat­ion done by December this year.

Much before the ISO certificat­ion, Mungantiwa­r has been known for being a stickler of sorts when it comes to responding to letters and telephonic calls. Sources said that Mungantiwa­r has kept a record of all the correspond­ence that he makes or receives at his own personal back-end office. So it comes as little surprise that Mungantiwa­r's office is all set to acquire the ISO certificat­e, which is first of its kind for any government ministry.
