Digitizes 8,64,894 e files and 34,87,689 e receipts hosted on RailTel’s Servers
New Delhi, Nov
18; In a continued effort to digitize its office
workingunder Modi Government’s Mission Mode Project (MMP), Indian Railways and RailTel
Corporation of India Limited (“RailTel”) have signed an memorandum of understanding
forimplementation of e-office for Zonal Railways (Phase 3) using cloud enabled
e-office application developed by NICs (National Informatics Centre) on November 11, 2020 . As per the MoU
executed, the NIC e-office platform project
which is helping the Indian Railways digitize its manual records, is planned to
be completed by Jan’2021 and cost approximately Rs 47.05 crores additionally.
In the first two phases which were completed in March 2020 and May 2020, RailTel had implemented the NIC platform for
106 establishments of the Indian Railways. As on 30th October, 2020,
it hosts in its Data Centres a total of
8,64,894 e-files, and 34,87,689
e-receipts i.e. letters, bills, office orders, created by 1,16,412 users of the
Indian Railway in a continued effort to
replace the manual filing system and which we believe will lead to
rationalizing operation costs besides eliciting transparency and going net zero
on carbon footprints.
Talking about this initiative, Shri Puneet Chawla, Chairman and Managing
Director, RailTel said” What started off as a pilot which we did for South
Central Railways and Guntur division in 2019 has reached considerable scale and
the transformation of the 165 year old Indian Railways is underway. Between
April- October 2020 and during the lockdown, usage of NICs platform by the IR
employees grew by 5.2 times for e-files and 6.9 times for e-receipts. The
software which will be implemented can be accessed from anywhere, as it will be
on a secured Virtual Private Network. Indian Railways is in the process of
ensuring quick implementation and adoption. We will be doing workshops, audit offices,
RPSF office and other establishments of Indian Railways in the third phase”.
A RailTel- Indian Railway communication on an MOU signing recently

health facilities and 650 polyclinics across Indian Railways.
