New Delhi: The civil aviation ministry is switching to an electronic
office by moving all of its files to the intranet, an exercise that it
expects to not only speed up its work but also make it more accountable.
The ministry plans to work out details of implementing the first of its kind move in the country this week and a pilot programme may start in a fortnight, officials said.
"The Prime Minister's directive is to clear files fast and that files should not stay with any officer for more than three days. We plan to make our office completely electronic and move all files on the intranet. The implementation strategy will be discussed in a meeting this week," said a senior civil aviation ministry official, requesting anonymity.
The plans marks a departure from the current practice of moving files manually from one office to another, which makes it very difficult to keep track of the time the officers take to clear the files. Although the ministry has a system to track the whereabouts of each file, it is not updated most of the times.
