Delhi plans e-Cabinet system for paperless meetings

Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta has met with National Informatics Centre (NIC) experts to roll out an e-Cabinet system that will make cabinet functioning largely paperless. Ministers and senior officials will access confidential documents securely on tablets, with role-based permissions limiting exposure of sensitive information.

The system allows digital preparation, sharing and tracking of cabinet notes, agendas, annexures, decisions and minutes. It eliminates circulation of bulky physical files, cutting printing and storage costs. Several states including Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tripura and Uttar Pradesh already use such platforms.

A key feature is digital monitoring of action taken on decisions. Departments will update implementation status online, allowing progress tracking within deadlines. The CM said the system will reduce processing time for cabinet proposals and improve inter-departmental coordination.
