The prime minister, who has
sought to embrace technology in governance with messianic zeal, has directed
officials - ranging from secretaries, joint secretaries and section officers -
of different ministries to clear files electronically.
The system is not new. It was introduced around a year ago under the UPA government. But no one really bothered.
But with Modi giving strict instructions that no heaps of files should be found littering office desks, shelves, window sills and even top of airconditioners and that office spaces should not remain cluttered, all senior government functionaries have made a concerted move to go electronic.
"The new government is stressing on making files totally electronic, to end the paper version as far as possible," a senior official told IANS declining to be named.
