In view of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis stretching long, Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh has asked his officers of the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) to expeditiously complete ‘work from home’ guidelines for central government employees.

The department has been asked that all necessary consultations with line ministries or departments in this regard may be completed on a priority basis. The timely issue of WFH guidelines would benefit employees of the central secretariat in adhering to the prime minister’s call for “Do Gaz Doori” and social distancing.

Singh will address the e-Office workshop for northeast states on June 12 with the objective to create digital state secretariats in Northeastern states of India. The progress of e-Office in 75 central ministries/ departments enabled the creation of a digital central secretariat which ensured that work from home was possible in the COVID-19 lockdown period.

The implementation of e-Office in state secretariats of Northeastern states will result in the creation of paperless state secretariats in a time-bound manner where officers would be empowered with virtual private networks, digital signature certificates and promote less contact governance.
