Andhra Pradesh Launches First e-Cabinet Meeting

The Andhra Pradesh government is set to conduct its first paperless Council of Ministers meeting using the e-Cabinet application developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) on August 28. This initiative, directed by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, aims to enhance operational efficiency, promote eco-friendly practices, and provide secure, real-time access to Cabinet documents. Prior to the meeting, a training program was conducted for Officers on Special Duty and Private Secretaries to familiarize them with the application. The e-Cabinet will also digitize records and facilitate effective monitoring of Cabinet decisions through comprehensive data analytics. This move reflects Naidu's ongoing commitment to leveraging technology for improved governance. The digital meeting will replace traditional in-person gatherings, allowing ministers to participate virtually.
