Govt finalises e-office system for paperless functioning

To adopt best practices aimed at improving the efficiency in disposal of official business in-line with the spirit of Digital India, the Administrative Council under the chairmanship of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha approved the adoption of e-office system in all administrative departments of Civil Secretariat and Move Offices outside Civil Secretariat.

The time-bound roll out of e-office in Government offices at an estimated cost of Rs. 67.62 crore will be a step towards the introduction of paperless office, besides saving on the cost of shifting official records twice a year between both the Secretariats at Jammu and Srinagar and avoiding wear and tear as well as the loss of official records during transportation.
