Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India]: In a significant step towards modernising administrative processes, Kashmir Divisional Commissioner Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, has called upon the Head of Departments (HoDs) across all sectors to fully transition to the e-office platform.

The directive came during a crucial meeting held recently, where Bidhuri underlined the pivotal role of e-governance in streamlining official workflows for enhanced effectiveness.

While some offices have taken steps in this direction, it is imperative that every office adopts the e-office framework,” emphasized Bidhuri, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive shift to digital modes of operation.

Beyond the digital shift, Bidhuri also turned its attention to enhancing the visual appeal of towns across the region.
