Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha this Wednesday launched an e-Cabinet as part of his government’s efforts to go paperless for faster administrative work. Chief Minister launched the e-cabinet system by pressing a button in the cabinet room of the Secretariat.

Tripura is the fourth state to adopt the e-Cabinet system, following Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Arunachal Pradesh. The e-cabinet system introduced in Tripura is on the model of the e-cabinet system of Uttarakhand state.

Apart from this, all the departments of the state government that have made the e-office system 100 percent effective as part of the initiative to go paperless offices were felicitated today. As a mark of respect, the Chief Minister handed over certificates to the heads of each department. CM Saha termed the launch of the e-Cabinet system as a historic moment for the state.

So far, 4,250 officials and employees imparted training on the use of e-office and 41 of the 94 departments have already converted to a digital mode of work.

Chief Secretary JK Sinha said today is a historic day for the state. Tripura, like other states of the country, is moving forward towards creating Digital India.

E-cabinet and e-office have been launched as part of the digital program in the state as well. As a result of which, apart from establishing good governance, there will be transparency in administration.

In addition to the chief minister, all the members of the cabinet, along with the chief secretaries, secretaries, and other officials of various departments were present on the occasion.
