HMDA launches e-office

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) on Monday launched an e-office here.

To begin with, the Planning, IT and Accounts departments of HMDA have gone paper-free and will be working on an online set-up. The other departments will be added to the e-office set-up by November 1, HMDA Commissioner B. Janardhan Reddy said.

The idea was to launch an e-office system in all the departments of HMDA by October 2. The IT department of HMDA in association with National Informatics Centre developed an advanced e-office system synchronising the functioning of all departments in HMDA.

The HMDA Commissioner formally launched the e-office at the Tarnaka office. The initiative to introduce e-office system



in HMDA was launched to ensure effective administration and timely clearance of files and applications for the convenience of people.

Besides aiding transparent and effective administration, the e-office system will save a lot of time both for officials and the public. From the officials’ perspective, e-office will help in increasing their efficiency levels and accountability as well. This is going to be a new milestone in HMDA, Reddy said.

He instructed officials, especially executive authorities, to clear the files at the earliest through the e-office system and make good use of the leftover time in addressing the people’s grievances, according to a press release.
