In line with this effort, Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has launched three key portals: the e-Office system, the Chief Minister's Office Online Portal, and the 'Swagatam' Portal on August 21. This initiative is designed to enhance both efficiency and transparency within the government.

Under the Chief Minister's guidance, the expansion of IT use in different government sectors aims to maximise transparency and reduce opportunities for corruption. During the launch, Chief Minister Shri Sai digitally approved a file, directing the Chief Secretary to implement the e-office system across all departments, thereby officially rolling out the e-office system.

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai emphasised that the introduction of the e-Office system and the Swagatam Portal represents a significant stride by the state government towards achieving its commitment to good governance. He reiterated that the government is actively promoting IT integration across all departments to establish zero tolerance for corruption and ensure transparency in government operations, intending to embed digital governance at every level.

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai stated that today is a historic day for Chhattisgarh as the state government has launched three online systems simultaneously to enhance transparency in government operations and improve public convenience. The introduction of these portals marks a significant milestone in the state's pursuit of good governance. The e-office system is designed to eliminate unnecessary delays in file processing, reduce errors, and enable effective file tracking.

Additionally, the Swagatam Portal has been introduced to streamline the process for visitors seeking appointments with the Chief Minister, Ministers, and officials at the Mahanadi Bhawan. The Chief Minister also inaugurated the CMO Portal, which will provide citizens with information about government schemes, programs, public-friendly decisions, and overall government functioning.

The e-Office system has been initially introduced in the General Administration Department and will be gradually extended to all departments. Through this system, office documents will be digitised, significantly reducing the time previously needed to transfer documents between offices. This digitisation will also eliminate the risk of document tampering, ensuring that files are secure and no longer at risk of being lost or misplaced. With the e-Office system, file processing will be completed within designated time frames, making it easier to monitor the performance of officials. The system will also benefit the public by enabling them to track the status of their applications.

This portal will maintain detailed records of visitors, thereby improving the security of the Mahanadi Bhawan premises.
