Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that India’s growth in the highways sector is set to boost on the back of a quick and transparent decision making process coupled with decentralized power structure and a system of performance audit adding that it will go a long way in ensuring that the departments are able to achieve the development work that they set out to do.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has acquired International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) 9001-2008 for monitoring, planning, development and maintenance of highways infrastructure and road transport throughout the country. 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 of 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.
Gadkari further highlighted that the importance of administrative efficiency as most vital factor for the successful working of an organization. The ISO certificate will be applicable to all the wings of the Ministry at the headquarters at New Delhi, including the offices of the Union Minister and the Minister of State, covering more than 700 employees. Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is probably the first largest Ministry of Government of India to achieve this feat.
