Chennai: In a bid to achieve complete digitisation as envisioned by the Ministry for Railways and as part of the Government of India’s 100 days’ Action Programme, Southern Railway Headquarters has taken up the e-Office system.
The e-Office module was inaugurated by Southern Railway General Manager Rahul Jain, Friday and the first e-File was approved by Additional General Manager & Zonal Incharge, Southern Railway, P K Mishra. General Manager, Railtel Principle Head of the Department Sandeep Kumar was also present.
Around 2,250 users (officers and staff) have been inducted in the e-Office system in Southern Railway Headquarters. Divisional Railway Manager office Tiruchi started working on e-Office platform from 10 June. Other divisions will be added in the next phase, said a press release.
The e-Office culture is expected to promote transparency, work-efficiency and accountability of all railwaymen. The e-Office is a massive ‘go-green’ initiative and will usher in a new era of office work culture. Apart from saving the costs on account of material, this will also help in avoiding cumbersome process of handling files and delays.
