Lucknow:  The Yogi Adityanath-led government in Uttar Pradesh has made a step towards e-governance, holding an e-cabinet training session held on Tuesday at the Chief Minister’s residence on the modalities of e-governance.

IN the session, Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said that the government will now promote paperless cabinet and most of the departments will be paperless in the coming days.

The government aims that the work in most departments should be paperless and that ministers and officials be connected through the digital office or, say, e-office.

The Uttar Pradesh government had already distributed tablets to the ministers and they are expected to do most of the department works on them. Along with this, the state government is trying to hold paperless cabinet meetings.

Minister of State for Minority Welfare, Mohsin Raza, said that the government is doing the work of connecting with technology. In addition, e-governance and e-office are also being implemented. He said that after the ministers, the government is now preparing to give iPads to the MLAs too.

Electronic governance or e-governance is the application of IT for delivering government services, exchange of information, communication transactions, integration of various stand-alone systems between government to citizen (G2C), government-to-business (G2B), government-to-government (G2G), government-to-employees (G2E) as well as back-office processes and interactions within the entire government framework.
