Amaravati, May 8 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said file clearance is the most crucial facet of speed of delivering governance, appreciating chief secretary G Sai Prasad for disposing a large number of files within 10 hours.
Addressing the final day of the district collectors conference at the Secretariat, the chief minister stressed that the sooner the files are cleared the faster government services will be delivered.
“Files clearance is the most important aspect of speed of delivering governance. From the chief secretary to secretaries, heads of departments and up to the mandal level, speed of files clearance must increase,” said Naidu.
Naidu instructed officials to almost eliminate manual files, directing them to sync technology with governance while insisting on the importance of retaining a human touch.
He called on ministers and officials to focus on disposing e-files within 24 hours, observing that everybody’s performance in clearing files is being documented.
Appreciating ministers, collectors, superintendents of police and secretaries who demonstrated speed in clearing e-files, he expressed contentment over the duration of clearing these documents dropping from days to hours.
Further, Naidu directed officials to identify the quantum of files existing outside the e-office system, insisting district officials to compulsorily generate only such files.
The CM called on the collectors to think innovatively in delivering services to people.
Meanwhile, IT secretary K Bhaskar noted that file clearing time statewide has dropped from 10 days to two days. PTI STH SA
