New Delhi: Delhi government is all set to go "paperless" as the state Cabinet today gave its approval for implementing the e-office system in every department in what has been claimed would be a first in the country.
According to a senior official, 15 departments are to be covered in the first phase of the plan, which would see Delhi become the first state in the country to totally embrace the e-office concept.
The decision in this regard was taken at a Cabinet meeting today chaired by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
"In the 15 departments, there will be no physical movement of files from December 1 this year," the official said.
"There is a lot of paper which is used and a large amount of storage space is required. The physical files are also prone to manipulation," the official also said.
"e-office provides an effective mechanism to work in a paperless environment, monitor the performance of individuals and enable employees to work at their convenience, etc.
The Cabinet has also permitted the individual departments to procure the required hardware and manpower from National Informatics Centre Services Inc. (NICSI) at empanelled rates based on the gap analysis report for the implementation of the above project, the official added.
