Boro said such an e-office framework has been implemented for the first time in a 6th schedule council.

It will benefit nearly 35 lakh citizens residing in the five districts of the BTC, he said.

All officers of the BTC have been provided with dedicated personal login identities and digital signatures and more than 65,000 files have been digitized from 55 departments, branches, and cells of the BTC secretariat.

Personal Information Management System (PIMS) Data for all including the chief executive member, executive members, BTC assembly speaker and officers have been prepared to streamline the process of operating e-office, it said.

E-office is a Mission Mode Project (MMP) under the National e-Governance Programme of the central government. The product is developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) and aims to usher in more efficient, effective, and transparent inter-government and intra-government transactions and processes.
