On August 21, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, unveiled three new online platforms to promote e-Governance and transparency in the state’s administrative functions. The launch included the e-office system, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) portal, and the ‘Swagatam’ portal. These tools are designed to increase efficiency and curb corruption by embedding IT solutions into various government operations.
At the event, then Hon’ble CM approved a file digitally, instructing the chief secretary to implement the e-office system across all departments. Initially, the system will roll out in the general administration department before expanding to others. This digital office system aims to streamline file management, reduce paperwork, and secure documents against tampering or loss.
The Swagatam portal simplifies the process for visitors to schedule appointments with officials at Mahanadi Bhawan, while improving security and maintaining better visitor records. On the other hand, the CMO portal offers easy access to details about government schemes, programs, and public decisions, alongside information on Chhattisgarh’s rich art, culture, and district-specific data.
Hon’ble CM emphasized that these platforms mark a significant move toward good governance and digital integration. The new systems are expected to reduce delays, minimize errors, and enable seamless tracking of files. The launch event was also attended by Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister, Shri Vijay Sharma, Hon’ble Minister of Food and Civil Supplies, Shri Dayaldas Baghel, and other senior officials.
