Special emphasis on digitization of files and cleanliness of offices under Special Campaign 6 in the Official Language Department of the Home Ministry.

India, Oct. 28 -- The Government of India has issued a release:

The Department of Official Language, Ministry of Home Affairs, is conducting various activities under Special Campaign 6 to make office operations more streamlined, transparent, and efficient. Under this campaign, special attention is being paid to the disposal of pending cases, improved record management, digitization of physical files, and ensuring cleanliness in office premises.

Under Special Campaign 6, the scanning of physical files and their conversion into e-files is making significant progress in the Official Language Department. To date, approximately 90 percent of physical files have been scanned and converted into e-files. This is promoting digital record management, facilitating file access, increasing efficiency in office work, and reducing reliance on paper records. Additionally, files that are no longer useful have been disposed of as per the established procedures. This initiative has also helped reduce the accumulation of unnecessary records in the office premises and maintain cleanliness and orderliness in the workplace.

Under the campaign, special emphasis is also being placed on the timely disposal of pending cases in the department. In this regard, it has been decided to prioritize the disposal of references received from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), and the President's Secretariat. Additionally, all sections and subordinate offices of the department have been directed to review their physical files, preserve useful records in digital format, and take action to dispose of old files as per the prescribed Record Retention Plan.

The objective of these efforts being made by the Department of Official Language under Special Campaign 6 is to simplify and make the office processes effective, modernize record management and encourage a clean, systematic and digital work culture.
