The Personnel and Administrative Reforms Department in collaboration with the Department of Information Technology & Communication, conducted a two-day training programme for PIMS Nodal Officers from various departments on the new version of the Personnel Information Management System (PIMS v2) at the Directorate of Information Technology & Communication, Kohima, on 7th and October 8.

The training was organised as part of the Government’s preparations for the transition from the existing PIMS to PIMS 2.0, with the new Application scheduled to go live on October 16. The initiative is aimed at further strengthening e-Governance by making employee-related services more accessible, efficient and convenient through an improved online system.

A total of 93 establishments and offices attended the two-day training. The participating PIMS Nodal Officers were familiarised with the new application through detailed walkthrough sessions, covering the various features and processes of PIMS 2.0 and the responsibilities of Nodal Officers in managing employee-related information and services.

The transition to PIMS 2.0 forms part of the Government’s efforts to move towards a more streamlined and accessible digital system for personnel and service management. The application will have dashboards to enable multi-level monitoring of processes.

The two-day training was therefore intended to ensure that departments are familiar with the new application and prepared for its implementation, enabling a smooth transition and uninterrupted delivery of employee-related services. The introduction of PIMS 2.0 is expected to further enhance accessibility and efficiency in personnel management through greater reliance on online processes and digital governance.

The session highlighted key changes in PIMS 2.0, particularly the introduction of individual login access for employees, in addition to PIMS Nodal Officers. This will enable employees to view and check their own records directly, reducing the workload on Nodal Officers. The new system will use DigiLocker-based authentication, requiring users to link their PIMS details with their DigiLocker accounts. Participants were encouraged to register and familiarise themselves with the process during the training.

It was also impressed upon all departments to extend full cooperation and play their respective parts in strengthening governance in the state.
