In the first phase, CMO has been set up at division-level.

The Nagpur Division CMO will be headed by Sudhakar Telang, Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) as ex-officio Officer on Special Duty. Padmashree Tasgaonkar, Naib Tehsildar; Snehal Khawle, Clerk-Typist, and other employees will be attached to the CMO. The people from Nagpur Division may submit their memorandums, applications, references at division-level CMO in Nagpur Divisional Commissionerate near GPO Square, Civil Lines. They will get an acknowledgement on receipt of their applications/memorandums etc. If the action on an application/memorandum is expected to be taken at field level, such application/memorandum will be forwarded to respective office. A monthly report regarding applications/memorandums/references received at CMO, disposal, and pendency will be submitted to the Government on a regular basis.
