There beingno alternative to adopting modern ways of working in offices where IT laced systems and procedures or a culture of paperless working or e-office system has got to be adopted, the Administrative Council led by the Lt. Governor Manoj Sinhahas accorded approval to e-office system in all Administrative Departments of Secretariats in Jammu and Kashmir. In other words, we in the UT, are up to witnessing a work environment in offices where more of digital documents and less of physical paper are to be used. We shall be heading towards having ”paperless employees” in the offices where electronic means without paper documents or paper record keeping, are used. While we appreciate the decision, we expect an overall improvement in efficiency in handling office matters and disposal of official business in line and tune with the spirit of Digital India. The system has inherent advantages of speed, accuracy, record keeping and retrieval in a smooth way as also leading to saving lot of money on transportation of office records physically between the Secretariat offices of the twin capital cities of the UT which is peculiar only to Jammu and Kashmir in the entire country twice in a year.
We agree that the system would be a time bound roll out and progressively shall be covering all departments in due course when almost all documents shall be getting converted into digital formand offices shall thus become environmentally friendly too where productivity or service delivery shall be boosted as efficiency in working shall vastly be improved due to adopting the new system. Necessary training etc, however, is required of the employees to handle the job in a new form.
