Raipur 7 February 2025: Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai said that the government is committed to strengthen good governance and make administrative processes transparent, effective and quick. In this direction, instructions were given to implement e-office in all departments and offices in the meeting of departmental secretaries on January 1, 2025. He said that most of the files of the General Administration Department are being dealt with through e-office and its full implementation in all departments will be ensured by March 31, 2025. The Chief Minister talked about providing training facilities for e-office to officers and employees, so that it can be implemented effectively in all departments. It is noteworthy that the Chhattisgarh government has implemented the e-office system in a phased manner with the aim of promoting e-governance and bringing transparency in government functioning. Earlier it was started in the General Administration Department and now it has been extended to all the departments of the Ministry. So far, 16 department head offices have been connected to the e-office system and the process of implementing it at the district level has also been expedited. Sakti is the first district where e-office has been fully implemented.
Chief Minister Sai said that the e-office system will bring unprecedented improvement in the speed, efficiency and transparency of government work. This initiative will bring automation in government processes, which will make tracking of files easier, speed up decision making and curb corruption. He directed the Chief Secretary to ensure digital approval of files in all departments, so that unnecessary delays in government work are eliminated and administrative decisions can be implemented quickly. The state government is constantly striving to strengthen digital governance at every level. Taking forward Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Digital India” campaign, the Chhattisgarh government has effectively implemented e-governance, which will make all government services in the state more transparent, smooth and quick. The Chief Minister said that e-governance has been adopted as an effective tool of good governance in Chhattisgarh, which will make government services reach the public quickly and easily.
The implementation of the e-office system will reduce the time taken for approval of files, which will enable quick implementation of administrative decisions. This includes the facility of real-time tracking of files, security of digital documents and centralized data management to prevent duplication. Reduction in paperwork will improve the efficiency of government offices and governance will become more effective and accountable. The e-office system will also save paper, human resources and transportation costs, which will also reduce government expenses. The Chief Minister has directed all departments to implement the e-office system on priority, so that the working system of the government can be made more timely, effective and transparent. He said that the successful implementation of e-office would be a concrete step towards making Chhattisgarh among the leading states of digital transformation.
