These cards, embedded with biometric identifiers, will be required to gain access to the building that now houses nine critical ministries and departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why the Change?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, biometric data of government employees existed within ministry systems but was used <strong>solely for attendance purposes<\/strong>. Entry to secured buildings relied on non-biometric ID cards. With the new system, <strong>Aadhaar-enabled biometric authentication<\/strong> will control building access directly, aiming to eliminate the risks posed by impersonation or misuse of old ID cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dev Gupta, President of the Central Secretariat Service (CSS) Forum, welcomed the move for enhancing security but also raised concerns over inadequate <strong>seating arrangements<\/strong> for CSS officers in the new premises. He urged the government to ensure compliance with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs&#8217; prescribed norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smart Cards Mandatory for All<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MHA has clearly instructed that <strong>all identity cards issued under the old system will be invalid<\/strong>. Whether permanent officials, contract staff, or visitors, everyone must switch to the <strong>biometric-enabled smart cards<\/strong> to gain entry into the CCS-3 building, which is under full security surveillance by the MHA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ministries Now Operating from CCS-3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following ministries and departments have already shifted to the CCS-3 building:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ministry of Home Affairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ministry of External Affairs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Department of Personnel and Training<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ministry of Rural Development<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Department of Land Resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office of the Development Commissioner, MSME<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With this new move, MHA is aligning access control with modern security standards, integrating <strong>biometric identity, digital access, and secure verification<\/strong> under a unified system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/indianmasterminds.com\/news\/mha-introduces-online-application-for-smart-identity-cards-for-ccs-3-building-access-details-inside-132452\/\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stronger Security Protocols for CCS-3 Building The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has initiated a new security system for the CCS-3 building in Central Vista, directing all employees\u2014including those on contract, to shift to biometric smart cards for secure entry.
