To create a paperless office for good governance, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs and Food has decided to have all official work on e-files within three months.

The initiative comes as part of the government’s decision to observe Good Governance Day on December 25.

The decision was taken in a meeting chaired by Food Minister Ram Villas Paswan to discuss best governance practices here on Wednesday. The Ministry decided to review public grievances disposal mechanism to increase the disposal rate, which is 89 per cent at the moment, an official release said. Addressing Ministry officials, Paswan said disposal of official work should be time-bound and directed Secretaries of his Ministry to draw a time-frame for the same.

Paswan also received the progress report of end-to-end computerisation of the public distribution system being implemented across the country.
