Government and controllong authorities overseeing the deployment, periformance and operational details of employees of various central and State/UT Governments would be enabled by the interoperatability facility provided by the instant invention to (1) seek and obtain online analyses and reports from some or all of the central and State/UT Governments at any time; and (2) to instruct the online transmission/ sharing of any specific data belonging to a given central ministry or State/UT department with some or all of the other central ministries or of other States/UT Governments. Importantiy, the instant invention obviates the need to maintain paper based records of governmc^nt employees, as per current and conventional practice. Data stored on the card chip is securely ported from the Central Registry of Government Employees and accessed by authorised officials via card reader units located at various Government offices countrywide as well as through mobile handheld devices at any user location by accessing the central server online.
