The movement of physical files between government departments for routine communication like intimations for meetings or their minutes and circulars may soon become obsolete. ‘E-Patrachaar’ is the Narendra Modi government’s new way for communication.
The email system has been introduced on the Prime Minister’s eSamikSha portal through which all major government projects and initiatives are monitored. The ‘E-Patrachaar’ module incorporated into the platform recently has led to meeting notices and agendas, circulars, letters and minutes of meetings being emailed to recipients in an effort to track, improve and speed up communication between implementing agencies.
This correspondence is also displayed through notifications on the eSamikSha dashboard visible to all ministries for prompt view and action. There is also an online central repository of all documents for easy retrieval. An E-Patrachaar notice board and E-Patrachaar highlighter have been set up on the eSamikSha portal to display circulars uploaded for various ministries.
