The e-office initiative will also have mechanism to track the file movement and will idenitfy the delays which usually occur due to officials’ complacency as well as corruption. In the first phase, the e-initiative will be implemented in 12 departments from December 20th. Apart from the CMO and CS office, all welfare departments including SC, ST, BC, women and child as well as housing, IT, finance, law and agriculture departments will be modernized into e-offices.
