In this background, the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances is organizing the Workshop with the participation of all Central Ministries/Departments, especially to sensitize the Indian Administrative Service Officers of 2014 Batch, who have been recently deputed to the Central Ministries / Departments as Assistant Secretaries on deputation basis, who can play a pivotal role for initiating faster implementation of the e-Office Project across all the Central Ministries / Departments. This will also enable them to carry the rich experience of implementing e-Office in Central Ministries / Departments to the Districts and States to which they have been allotted so that they can use this knowledge in their day-to-day activities. The Workshop will also be attended by Shri C. Viswanath, Secretary (DARPG), Ms. Usha Sharma, Additional Secretary, DARPG and Shri Santhosh Mathew, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Rural Development.
